this week we made Oobleck which is a non-Newtonian fluid. It feels like a solid and liquid at the same time with a lot of force it turns into a solid but with a small amount of pressure it becomes a liquid. We buried our hands in it and it felt like we were getting a wax treatment but it didn't come off! this is a very fun experiment! here is a recipe for a non-Newtonian fluid!
Mix 2 cups of cornstarch to 1 cup of water into a bowl. Mix the cornstarch and water until your oobleck is formed. Tip: If you would like to color your oobleck, add your food coloring to your water and then mix with the cornstarch.
what I noticed was that when you put your hand in it, your hand sucks up all the moister in it and it turns into a solid.
Here are some cool photos from our experience
