Recipe - Oobleck

  • 2 cups cornflour
  • 1 cup water
  • Food colouring (optional)
  1. Add food colouring to water if desired.
  2. Mix cornflour in (sifting is unnecessary). You may need to add a little bit more if your mixture is too runny.
  3. Enjoy! You can just put it in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to re-use another time.

Oobleck

Strange name, strange substance. Oobleck defies Newton's third law of motion (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction): if you pour oobleck it behaves like a liquid, but if you hit it, it behaves like a solid. In other words, you could slowly immerse your hand in it (would be liquid), then try to pull your hand out again quickly and you'd have trouble (would be solid)!
