Oobleck acts the way it does mostly because of water movement. When it is surrounded by water, that surface tension helps its granules flow freely due to extra lubrication. However, if there water movement stops all of a sudden, it creates a lot more friction between its granules.
No. Oobleck is a mixture of corn starch and water.
Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid that behaves like both a liquid and a solid. It is made by mixing cornstarch and water together. Oobleck is often used for science experiments and sensory play.
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.
Oobleck is made from corn starch and the best example to describe how does oobleck show pressure. take a 2L bottle and put sand and water in it squezee it soft the water can fill the gaps faster and squezee it hard the gaps wont get filled.
oobleck is a goo so if you evenly ( and correctly) distributed your materials then it should all stay together
The responding variable in an oobleck experiment could be the viscosity or flow behavior of the oobleck when pressure is applied.
No. Oobleck is a mixture of corn starch and water.
Yes, oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid.
Oobleck is a non-newtonian liquid.
No, oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid made from cornstarch and water that is not found naturally on the moon. The surface of the moon does not have the necessary components for oobleck to form.

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.
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

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!
You can research the chemicals that make up Oobleck such as Corn Starch, and you can write about those. You can also write about Oobleck's history, because it was invented originally as a fictional green goo by Dr. Suess.
