it deals with science.
The substance you are referring to (a combination of corn starch and water) is what is called a non-newtonian fluid. This means that it has variable viscosity which is why it acts as both a solid and a liquid.
There can be a substance that has some liquid properties and some solit properties. For example, take some corn starch and mix some water into it until it turns into a kind of goo. It feels like solid sometimes and liquid at other times.
General classes of colloids are: gas in liquid, gas in solid, liquid in gas, liquid in liquid, liquid in solid, solid in gas, solid in liquid, solid in solid.
Some items that have both a property of a solid and liquid are.....Ice Cream (hard to soft, almost water)A certain kind of quicksand goo (melts then gets hard and flakeyDirt (melts into mud if you add water)Ice (from a solid hard thing to a water) then that evaporatesThats all for now! :)
Pebbles are solid.

It is proven to be booth a solid or a liquid. Liquids form into whatever they are put into it. Goo does the same. When you squeeze the goo it feels as if it was a solid but is actualy oozing out of your hands. Also, when you hit the goo with a spoon it will feel as if it is a solid but actually a liquid during that time. Goo has qualityies of botha solid and a liquid. Goo is both a solid and a liquid.
Goo doesn't really take up the shape of the container so it is not a liquid also goo isn't breathable ( if it was a gas you would probably die from a whiff of it) so it is a solid
Goo is both a solid and a liquid as you know. For example a liquid can take the shape of whatever its put into. Goo does the same. But while its being a liquid its also being a solid by it forming into a shape then oozing out. when you put the goo into your hand and squeeze it it feels as if it is a solid. But when you stop squeezing you will see that the goo is oozing out of your hands.
"Goo" may be a solid or a liquid. To determine whether "Goo" is a solid, it must be put to the "Paint Filter Test". A measured amount of material is placed in a cone shaped container with an open bottom which is lined with a 400 micron filter. After a period of 15 minutes, if any of the material has transferred through the filter, it is classified as a liquid. If not, it is a solid. This test is generally accepted by the DEC and SWANA (Solid Waste Association of North America) as the definitive test to determine if a substance is a solid or a liquid.

Make goo by add water in a cup and then add food coloring and in another bowl mix corn starch and the colored water. If the goo seems to be runny add corn starch and if to thick and more water.
Spray you in the face with yuck as liquid:)
