Oobleck and Non-Newtonian Fluids
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...

Oobleck and Non-Newtonian Fluids
Slime is all the rage with kids these days. One common form of slime is known as Oobleck. Oobleck happens to be a non-Newtonian fluid. Join Dr. Boyd in making Oobleck, and learning what it means to be a non-Newtonian fluid. Minute 0:30 –...

Making Slime
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
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...

Non-Newtonian Liquids
Introducing the liquids whose behaviours seem to defy the accepted states of matter. What are they and why don't they behave as we predict? Chemistry - Atoms And Bonding - Learning Points. Newtonian liquids take the shape of their...

How to Make Oobleck
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...
