Oobleck

As one of our last activities with solids and liquids, our class made and experimented with oobleck today! We started by reading Bartholomew and the Oobleck, which is one of Dr. Seuss' wonderful books about a thick, sticky, liquid substance that falls from the sky as a new type of weather! After reading it we made our own oobleck by mixing corn starch with water to create a liquid substance that also seems to have some properties of a solid! Students had the chance to explore the oobleck at different times during the day, observing how it seemed, at times, like a liquid, and at times, like a solid! Below are some photos of us exploring the properties of oobleck!
