Oobleck is a sticky substance that is a solid when pressurized but a liquid when not pressured in room temperature. It is a great thing to help teach kids chemistry.
Oobleck is made of 1 cup of cornstarch for every 1/2 cup of water.

∙ 8y agoyes and no. oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid, which means it is not a solid or a liquid. If you let it go, it looks like a liquid, and acts like a liquid. If you hit it or handle it, however, it turns into a solid. !

What is melted candle wax a solid pure substance liquid or gas?
it may seam like a solid and a liquid, and it is! its called oobleck. No... oobleck isn't a made up word!! when u mix cornstarch and water, it makes oobleck. If u tilt your hand the oobleck will run down your hand like a liquid, but when u touch it... it is a solid. weird right?
What is the scientific word for oobleck?
Oobleck is a heterogeneous mixture more commonly known as a suspension. The mixture is made up of cornstarch and water. It will behave as either a solid or liquid depending on pressure.
What is a liquid that can turn into a solid called?
The liquid that can turn into a solid is called a "freezing" or "solidification" process
Can you cut oobleck?
yes?
What can oobleck be used for?
glue, cooking
Is oobleck solid or liquid?
Oobleck is a non-newtonian liquid.
When you pick up a handful of oobleck can you hold it?
* oobleck is a solid and a liquid at the same time,depending on it's treatment

Why is Oobleck a gas?
There are three primary states of matter, solid, liquid and gas. Of the three, the one Oobleck is not is a gas.
What is strange about the oobleck?
what is strange about oobleck is how it is shiny and looks like a very soft liquid like water but is NOT very soft at all and when you put your hand in it it sinks and oobleck fills up those spaces but never gets hard

Why is oobleck a solid and a liquid?
Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid with shear thickening properties, meaning that when stressed is applied to it, its apparent viscosity increases. Basically, when someone hits it, it behaves more like a solid.
Can you make oobleck out of baby powder?
No. Oobleck is a mixture of corn starch and water.
What happens when you mix water and starch?
You get oobleck, which is a non-Newtonian fluid. A non-Newtonian fluid has properties of both a solid and a liquid and reacts to stress with increased viscosity.
Can you cut oobleck?
yes?
