This video is from a chemistry class I was leading today. B spent most of his time playing with oobleck. The parents got in on the fun too! You can view another of J's videos on a previous post below.
Oobleck is a mixture of cornstarch and water-if you punch it, it's a solid, if you let it rest in your hands, it's a liquid. B kept it in a ball by continually applying pressure to it.
11/8/09 Crazy warm temperatures. 64 degrees today, bright and sunny. I'll take it! 10/1/09 Cold and rainy. 9/5/09 We have been having a beautiful stretch of sunny weather. Mornings are cool. Saw a praying mantis today! 8/5/09 Cool mornings and beautiful sunshine here in the Adirondacks! 5/14/09 The wind is howling outside. Pass on through storm to make way for the sun tomorrow! 5/13/09 What a glorious day! Warm, clear blue sky and creek full of tadpoles! 4/9/09 Full moon tonight and, could it be, a clear sky?! Yes! 4/1/09 We had an April Fools Day joke played on us today-the forecast was for sun and warmth and instead it was cloudy, windy and cool. The crocuses are now in bloom! 3/27/09 Woke up to the glorious sound of birds chirping. Jays, cardinals and robins are out in abundance. 2 bunnies made an appearance this evening. A beautiful sunny, spring day. 3/26/09 I've started to clean out the garden beds. We've had days of sun and are now getting a spring rain. The daffodils are coming up! 3/10/09 We had a squirrel and a woodpecker at the bird feeder today. The squirrel also loved a jar of peanut butter we left out.
Your little guy is so cute! And that looks like a fun chemistry class. What is oobleck?

ReplyDeleteoh, how cool. I was wondering the same thing about what is oobleck.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing happy kids. It makes me happy and seeing him definitely did that for me. There is something about that energy. Love it!
Your little guy had my girls on the floor laughing (and trying to climb the walls). Thanks Jane. ;)
