Boswell High School chemistry students won first place in the Judge's Choice Best Booth category for their different science projects that included homemade slime, dry ice fog, and candy science with Gobstoppers. They showed that Gobstopper colors don’t initially mix when all placed in the water at the same time. Instead, they run into each other and stop. In addition to the non-mixing colors, the colors change during the dissolving process because each Gobstopper is comprised of four different colors. They handed out their slime to excited children.
