Does oobleck work with flour?

No, oobleck is made with a combination of cornstarch and water. Flour and water mixed together would create a paste-like substance, not the same non-Newtonian fluid characteristics as oobleck.


Can you use flour instead of cornstarch to make oobleck?

No, you cannot use flour instead of cornstarch to make oobleck, as they have different properties. Oobleck requires cornstarch and water to achieve its unique non-Newtonian fluid characteristics, where it behaves like a solid under pressure and flows like a liquid when at rest. Flour does not create the same starch gel structure needed for this behavior, so the result would not be the same.


What other things have the same properties as oobleck?

Gloop, or cornstarch and water mix, exhibits similar properties as oobleck since it can behave like a solid and a liquid based on force applied. Silly putty is another substance with comparable properties as it stretches like a liquid but breaks like a solid. Slime made with certain recipes can also have characteristics similar to oobleck in terms of viscosity and flow.

Get a cup filled with cornstarch 3. Get a cup/bowl/etc. to put the oobleck in 4. Get a spoon Steps: 1. Take the cornstarch and dump it into your cup or bowl. 2. Take your room temperature water and drip (and i mean drip!) the water into the cornstarch and mix with a spoon. 3. Keep dripping and stirring until the mixture drips like glue. 4. You have OOBLECK!
