About Thames & Kosmos
Thames & Kosmos was founded in 2001 with the mission of improving informal science education outside of the classroom. T&K's mission has since expanded from its STEM roots to encompass other educational branches, including arts and crafts and games and magic. T&K places an emphasis on teaching concepts and skills through tactile processes. Our vision is to give all children access to real, physical activities and projects that teach them how things work.

As lead chemist in your very own out-of-this-world laboratory, it’s your job to identify UFOs — Unidentified Funky Oozes! Set up and use your lab station to mix up batches of unidentified “alien” slime and conduct tests on them to analyze and investigate their special properties. Real science and playful science fiction come together in this wacky, activity-filled kit!
- Ages 6 and up
- 24-page, full-color illustrated manual with experiments and scientific explanations
- 10 experiments
- 28 pieces
- Use alone, or combine with Ooze Labs Chemistry Station and Ooze Labs Soap & Bath Bomb Lab to create a mega lab!
Product Features
What's Inside the Box?
With 28 pieces, this kit has everything you need to conduct experiments like a real scientist including: a station base, equipment stands, test tubes, a scalpel, petri dish, and lots of tools and non-hazardous chemicals. The lab station itself is easy to assembly and reconfigure for different experiments. The full-color manual guides your scientific exploration through 10 out-of-this-world fun, slimy, cool experiments.
The Mission
The experiments in the manual are presented as assignments from Mission Control. As an extraterrestrial researcher, you are tasked with identifying different types of slime that have been discovered on an alien planet! The 10 assignments will have you testing the viscosity of slimes, conducting gravity tests on them, dissecting them, and more. You'll even have the chance to mold your own glowing slime alien!
Educational Value
While the storyline of this kit is purely fictional and intended only to make scientific exploration more fun and playful, the experiments are 100% real! Each experiment is accompanied by a straight-forward, easy-to-understand explanation for what's happening and why it's important. The manual introduces kids to scientific terms like molecules, polysaccharides, viscosity, photons, iridescence, and more. An additional 'Check It Out' section provides a brief introduction to the research some scientists are conducting to determine whether or not intelligent life exists on other planets.
