Oobleck and Non-Newtonian Fluids

3rd - 8th
Ever heard of Oobleck? How about Non-Newtonian fluids? Well, today Sabrina is going to show us that things can sometimes behave like a solid, and sometimes like a liquid depending on how much force is applied to them. In this episode of...

Making Slime

6th - 12th
We make slime using borax, water and food colouring. The slime is a non-Newtonian liquid. A non-Newtonian liquid can behave like a liquid or a solid depending on the pressure applied to it. Chemistry - Atoms And Bonding - Learning...

Dancing Polymer

6th - 12th
We create a polymer using cornflour and water called oobleck. Oobleck is a non-Newtonian liquid that behaves like a solid and a liquid. When placed on a speaker, the vibrations cause the polymer to constantly change its behaviour and it...

How to Make Oobleck

Pre-K - 8th
If you mix cornstarch and water (2 to 1), you will get a suspension that acts like a solid when you put a pressure on it, but then it can flow like a liquid. Perfect for messy play at any age. If you feel creative, add some food...
