Pictured instructions and a video showing how to make and play with oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid that flows like a liquid when moved slowly, but feels like a solid when you quickly push it. For more science fun with the kids, be sure to check out our Edible Plant Cell project. This cornstarch and water experiment is a great way to teach the States of Matter and non-Newtonian fluids. Is it a liquid or solid? YOU decide! You can pick it up like a solid, but it will run through your fingers.
