OOBLECK
​for OUTSIDE FUN

- 
OOBLECK- OUTSIDE FUN- Very Messy
Oobleck isn’t a liquid or a solid, it’s a non-Newtonian fluid. At times, it may seem like a solid and other times it feels like a liquid.  It acts differently than a normal solid or liquid. Find out how.

  • 2 cups cornstarch
  • 1 cup water
  • Food coloring (optional)

1. Mix 2 cups of cornstarch to 1 cup of water into a bowl. Mix the cornstarch and water until your Oobleck is formed. Add a few drops of food coloring, if wanted.
2. If you find the mixture is a little too watery and not forming into a solid when you pull the Oobleck out of your bowl then add more cornstarch. If you find the mixture is not dripping like a liquid, add a little more water. Just keep experimenting until you get the consistency of Oobleck.
  • Pick up the oobleck with your hands and form a ball. Then let go of the ball and watch it melt into your hands.
  • Play with it.
  • Step in it.
  • Use a strainer to see what happens.
  • Research what floats or sinks in it.
  • Freeze it and discover what happens.
  • Build a spaceship or boat that can float using household materials.
  • Build a structure from Legoes. What happens?

It's An Adventure!
