OOBLECK

Oobleck is a crazy cool mixture that is both a liquid and a solid. which means it is a non-Newtonian solution. Changes in pressure to the mixture (like pushing on it with one finger versus holding it) can change the properties of the solution. Give it a try and see what you think.

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups of Cornstarch
• 1 Cup of Water
• food coloring (optional)
• a bowl and spoon for mixing

Directions:

Combine cornstarch and water in a bowl and mix well. Add food coloring if you'd like. 

Play with the Oobleck. Push a spoon on the mixture and notice how it gets hard. Then pick it up with your hands and notice how it gets melty soft. 

Did you know that Oobleck got its name from a Dr. Seuss book? In the book, Oobleck, a gooey green substance fell from the sky and wrecked havoc on the kingdom. If you're able, read the book as a family and then make Oobleck yourself!
