We ended our first science chapter on matter with an ooey, gooey, science lab. We tried to figure out if Oobleck was a liquid or a solid. I think the class was split about 50/50. The kids had a lot of fun and I had a lot of fun watching them investigate the strange substance! Many students wanted to make Oobleck at home. The recipe is about 2 cups of cornstarch to 1 cup of water. Add food coloring if you would like. We added green so our Oobleck looked just like the Oobleck in the Dr. Seuss book, Bartholomew and the Oobleck. You may have to play with the consistency. You want to hard when you hit it but liquidy when you slowly put your finger in it. Have fun!!!
