Ooblek is made up of corn starch and water. It is very gooey and sticky, but it's cool because it's like a liquid and a solid. First, act like you're making a snowball with it. If you pick it up and leave it on the palm of your hand, it will just ooze and not hardened.

What happends when you hit cornstarch and water?
What happens is it turns into a liquid/solid called ooblek but it all depends on how much you mix togeher. ~The cornstarch and water mixture acts like a solid sometimes and a liquid at other times. A mixture of cornstarch and water make what is known as a suspension. When you squeeze a Cornstarch Suspension it really feels like a solid because its molecules line up. But it looks like a liquid and acts like a liquid when no one is pressing on it because the molecules relax. When you punch the cornstarch, you force the cornstarch molecules closer together. The impact of this force traps the water between the starch chains to form a semi-rigid structure. When the pressure is released, the cornstarch flows to a liquid again. The "goo" that forms when mixing the two substances together acts very similar to quicksand.
