Summer Science Allows Harvard Students, Cambridge Kids to Play With Slime and Sound

"The Kids got into them."

Everyone nods, knowingly.

Meanwhile, people read through the suggested lesson plans being passed out.

"Slime is vocabulary word, Ed?" Jennifer Mozeiko asks.

"Some of them don't know how to spell it," he answers.

Bonanno's Class

Bonanno has lucked out as far as classrooms go; she has air conditioning.

On the third floor of the Cambridge College building on Mass. Ave., her junior high school-aged class is trying the same experiment as Villavicencio's class did.

She reads the note, which says that if the kidnappers do not get $50, "you will never see Bill Clinton again."

The class doesn't seem impressed. One student mutters, "So? It isn't worth $50 to get him back."

Bonanno gives the suspects their pens, and Diego, a counselor at the summer camp, is named a suspect. The class issues a collective "ooooh." Xiomara, a student who sits on the left hand side of the room, is also picked as a suspect.

Later, when Diego leaves the room for a little while, the group agrees he is the type to kidnap someone.

Clarissa passes out the acetone, and the girls begin to test the ink samples.

"This one's black and this one's green," one girl says to another.

"Yours came out purple," one girl tells a suspect.
