Characteristics
The Characteristics of the Oobleck is a liquid
goop witch hardens instantly with pressure.
Cornstarch (powder) and water make a nonNewtonian liquid, meaning it is a solid and a
liquid.
It has both properties of being a solid and a
liquid.
Poke Test (quick)
When we quickly poked the Oobleck it
rebounded out finger and stopped us from
penetrating it, this happened because with more
pressure/speed it increases in viscosity.
Poke Test (slow)
When we poke our finger went straight in, with
little/no resistance. This was because when we
applied little amount of pressure viscosity was
lower.
Non-Newtonian fluid
Some Non-Newtonian fluids, just like Oobleck
are Jell-O, whipped cream, blood, fog and
styling gel.
Reaction
When we created Oobleck it was a physical
combination, because WE put the two elements
together.
Cornstarch?
Cornstarch is starch prepared from the grain of
corn.
