Gloop experiment

Here is our experiment from Thursday....
You will need:

- 1 cup water
- 1.5-2 cups cornflour
- a few drops of food colouring of your choice
-a mixing bowl

Liesl is Super Scientist #2. She mixed the cornflour with the water.
Here is Group 3 working together as a team.
Oliver is Super Scientist #4 for his group. He added in the food colouring.
Gloop or Oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid. (We love big words!) That means it is a liquid when you pour it and a solid when you touch it.
We took the gloop outside to play with.
The Oobleck was solid when we held it in our hands and then it dripped through our fingers.
We have recorded our findings in our Science Notebooks.
Thank you to Andrea for coming in to help with the experiment and also with cleaning us up!
Afterwards we shared our findings and our Science Notebook with some buddies.
