Making Oobleck

We made Oobleck last week in our classroom. It was messy but lots of fun. We discovered that Oobleck can be like both a liquid and a solid.

The students worked together to mix the Oobleck. We used two cups of corn starch and one cup of warm water with green food coloring.

They worked in pairs.

Oozing Oobleck!!!

This is a great science activity to do when teaching about the states of matter. You can also connect this lesson to language arts by reading the book Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss.
