How to make oobleak

Hey readers, 

Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid that is made from corn-starch and water. It is a fun and easy science experiment that kids of all ages can enjoy.

How to make oobleak

Here is how to make oobleck. 

Ingredients:

* 1 cup corn-starch. 

3/4 cup water. 

Food colouring (optional). 

Method.  

1. In a large bowl, combine the corn-starch and water.

2. If you are using food colouring, add a few drops to the water before adding it to the corn-starch.

3. Stir the mixture together until it is smooth.

4. The oobleck is ready to play with!

Tips. 

The amount of corn-starch and water you need may vary depending on the brand of corn-starch you use. Start with the measurements listed above and adjust as needed.

If the oobleck is too dry, add a few drops of water. If it is too runny, add a little more corn-starch.

You can add other ingredients to oobleck to change its properties. For example, you can add glitter, shaving cream, or soap bubbles.

Oobleck can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

Here are some fun things you can do with oobleck. 

Throw it at each other.

Make it into shapes.

Roll it around in your hands.

See how it reacts to different forces, such as gravity, pressure, and temperature.
Experiment with different colours and textures.

Oobleck is a great way to learn about the properties of fluids and have some fun at the same time. So what are you waiting for? Go make some oobleck today!
