Year 3 Gets Their Hands Dirty with Oobleck

After getting stuck into discovering the three states of matter, Wales class got their hands dirty by conducting an investigation into a substance that fits none of those categories: Oobleck!




Named after a sticky substance in a Dr. Seuss book, Oobleck isn't a solid, liquid, or a gas!

"I know what this is. It's a non-Newtonian fluid." said Kristupus.

"The more you stir it the harder it gets and if you stop stirring it melts again!" said Glory.





If you want to try it yourself at home, it is very easy to make: one part water, two parts cornflour, and a little food colouring. But be warned: it is messy!
