Science demonstration. Mixing corn starch and water produces a non-Newtonian fluid which has both the properties of a solid and a liquid. Great fun for kids of all ages.
if you had a pool filled with that stuff could you run on it?

By bigdeezle77 1169476399 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI saw it long time back on metacafe.
Just type "oobleck" on the SEARCH bar, and run a search to see yourself.
Do your search, then take a look at the submission dates. Then decide which is a repeat.
By valvin47 1172946812 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThere was a mistake. This is not a repeat. In fact this is the forebearer. Others are repeat. Sorry again!!
By linguist 1172948051 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI work in a kindergarten and try to learn/teach/show kids the wonderful and fascinating world of science. Instead of just putting plastic beads on a plastic tray or similar mindnumbing activities I try to make them think and wonder about everything around them. "Experiments" like this is just what I need in my work. Thank you for providing this, and thank you for helping me raise a new generation of "out of the box" thinking individuals.
P.S. Before flaming my english, please put into consideration that I am Norwegian, all complaints in Norwegian only please ;OP

By justsomegirl61636 1194386091 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI posted a video of this stuff and I got a low rating, but I wasn't really creative with it, just made it and showed how. I didn't know it was called "Oobleck", we just made this stuff when we were kids. I make it for my daughter to play with now. This video is way cooler than mine haha

By kimbokimbo 1167256946 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt is reffered to as a supercooled liquid. It acts as a liquid and a solid in some cases, like Jell-o or as glass(yes glass is technically a liquid not solid).
By ozzybaldo 1167134309 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou have more common sense than the rest of us.
By Serpentine 1167714882 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeits thixotropic nature of the mixture caused due to shear thinning effect
By entropyking 1167209844 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveA supercooled liquid is a substance that has not undergone a phase change from liquid state to solid state even though it has been cooled below its freezing point. A pertubation to this type of liquid (such as striking or seeding) will cause it to immediately phase change.
However, glass is technically a liquid, as you stated.
awsome.....but what is corn starch?where do i find it?
By perroni_cn 1167441214 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThanks for the reply. Starches are complex carbohydrates that plants produce to store excess glucose (sugar). It's basically a polymer made of sugar molecules.
Corn starch (or other kinds of starch) can be found at a grocery store, usually in or near the baking goods/flour aisle. At least that's where it was in my grocery store.
