Types of Colloids and Their Properties
Earlier we learned that as far as mixtures go, we can have homogeneous solutions, or totally heterogeneous mixtures, where components don't mix. But there are actually intermediary mixtures, where substances mix to some limited degree....

Cornstarch Goo - Cool Science Experiment
In this fascinating episode, Mr. Spangler uses cornstarch and water to create a solution known as "non-Newtonian" solution, meaning that the solution doesn't behave in the way that Newton's laws would expect it to. This is one of the...
