usually corn starch and water
No. Oobleck is a mixture of corn starch and water.
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.
Note. Oobleck is a mixture of water cornstarch and food coloring made up to resemble a thick malleable paste like playdough.
There are three primary states of matter, solid, liquid and gas. Of the three, the one Oobleck is not is a gas.
Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid that exhibits properties of both a liquid and a solid. When pressure is applied to oobleck (by walking on it, for example), the cornstarch particles within the mixture temporarily lock together, creating a solid-like surface that can support your weight.
Yes, you can prevent oobleck from turning into a solid by continuously applying pressure or agitation to keep the mixture in a liquid-like state.
Depending on the amount of corn starch added, the mixture gets thicker and thicker.
Ah, oobleck is such a wonderful thing to create! The independent variable for oobleck could be the ratio of cornstarch to water you use in your mixture. By changing this ratio, you can observe how it affects the consistency and behavior of your oobleck. Remember, there are no mistakes in oobleck-making, just happy little accidents!
Oh, dude, the test variable for oobleck is the force applied to it. So, like, when you squish it or punch it, that's the variable you're changing to see how oobleck reacts. It's like science meets playtime, but with a gooey twist.
The responding variable in an oobleck experiment could be the viscosity or flow behavior of the oobleck when pressure is applied.
Oobleck (a mixture of corn starch and water, not the fictional substance from the Dr. Seuss book) is a something called a 'Non-Newtonian' fluid. This means that when pressure is applied, its viscosity changes. It is characterized as a Colloid because, unlike a suspension, the contents do not settle, and the particles are too big for it to be a solution. Although it displays some characteristics of a solid, it is only for a few moments when pressure is applied, it is still a mixture and is still considered to be a type of liquid.
How does what behave? The oobleck you're supposed to make for your FLVS Science course? It makes a dent in it.
