This term P5-7 are looking at Changing Materials as a Topic. We have started by investigating the characteristics of Solids, Liquids and Gases. As part of this work we made Oobleck, which is simply a mixture of corn flour and water. What makes Oobleck  interesting is that it is a non Newtonian fluid, which means it can behave like a solid or a liquid, depending on what level of force you exert on it. Great fun was had squeezing and rolling it into solid balls and then watching them change back to liquid as soon as the force was removed. It did get a little messy though!

We also found out that it got its name from a Dr. Seuss book called Bartholomew and the Oobleck.
