Fun with Oobleck


James has been very interested in science projects lately, so we decided to make some oobleck to play with. Oobleck is solid when touched, but liquid when poured. I vividly remember playing with this as a child...the smell, color, and feel of it. To make it, you mix 1 1/2 cups cornstarch and 1 cup of water and add food coloring for fun. Naomi wanted nothing to do with the oobleck, especially after she tasted some. It entertained James for a long time and he learned a little bit about liquids and solids.
