Atomic Worms


Youth at The Bob Burdette Center's Calvary Site recently mixed up a batch of Atomic Worms. Atomic Worms introduce youth to the chemistry behind polymers. "Worm Goo" is a long chain of molecules called a polymer. When the "Worm Goo" comes in contact with the "Activator", the goo immediately changes from a liquid to a solid! That’s because the "Activator" acts a cross-linking solution that links the long strands of polymers in the goo together.
