no,because that is a base and don't touch it if you touch it and your hands feels slippery, you may have gotten the base on your hands. You should quickly rinse your hand with large amounts of water and tell your teacher.

No, bases do. The slippery feel actually comes from the OH- ions reacting with dead skin cells on your fingers.
