Oobleck


Is it a solid, is it a liquid .....or is it a non-newtonian fluid?

This afternoon we were investigating the properties of Oobleck. Oobleck is very easy to make and lots of fun to explore. Put 1 cup of cornflour, 1/3 of a cup of water and a few drops of green food colouring into a plastic container and mix it together.

Warning: This will get messy and do NOT dispose of it down the drain.
