We have been learning about states of matter in Science. Today, Mrs. Cassidy came in to talk with the class about the different states of matter. She also did an experiment with us. We learned about a non-newtonian fluid called Oobleck. It has properties of both liquids and solids. You can slowly dip your hand into it like a liquid, but if you squeeze the oobleck or punch it, it will feel solid. You can make this recipe at home too... it's easy! Just mix:
- 1 part water
- 1.5 to 2 parts cornstarch
- Small amount of food coloring (optional)
