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.

What is an independent variable for oobleck?

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!
