Making oobleck - Fun and Simple


 Making oobleck is a fun and simple experiment! Here's how you can make it:


Ingredients:

- Cornstarch

- Water

- Optional: Food coloring (if you want colored oobleck)


Instructions:

1. Mixing the Ingredients:

   - Start with a bowl or a container.

   - Pour cornstarch into the bowl. The amount depends on how much oobleck you want to make, but a good starting point is 2 parts cornstarch to 1 part water.

   - Add water slowly while stirring. You want to achieve a consistency where the mixture is liquid when you stir it slowly, but feels solid when you apply force quickly (like squeezing or tapping).


2. Adjusting Consistency:

   - If it's too runny, add more cornstarch.

   - If it's too thick, add more water.


3. Optional: Adding Food Coloring:

   - If you want colored oobleck, add a few drops of food coloring into the mixture and stir until the color is evenly distributed.


4. Playing with Oobleck:

   - Once you have the right consistency, oobleck is ready to play with! It behaves like a liquid when you handle it slowly, but if you squeeze it or press it quickly, it feels solid.


5. Cleaning Up:

   - When you're done playing, oobleck can be messy. Clean it up by scraping it into the trash (not down the drain) and wiping the surface with a wet cloth.


Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid, which means its viscosity (thickness) changes depending on the force applied to it. Have fun experimenting and playing with your homemade oobleck!
