Oobleck

We concluded our study of the states of matter by creating Oobleck from corn starch and water. Oobleck has unusual physical characteristics, that of a non-Newtonian fluid. The children were investigating to find out when did the oobleck act like a liquid and when did it act like a solid? As well as why they thought it acted that way. Several very perceptive young scientists connected the properties of Oobleck to those of quicksand. Where are you people vacationing?!
