Overview

Students investigate and analyze the properties of a strange, green substance, Oobleck, said to come from another planet, gaining authentic insight into the work of real scientists. Oobleck is actually a mixture of cornstarch and water that demonstrates non-Newtonian properties, sometimes acting like a liquid, sometimes like a solid. Students critically discuss their experimental findings, design a spacecraft to land on an ocean of Oobleck, and learn how professional scientists approach similar problems. A fascinating substance for all ages, Oobleck has made an appearance on the David Letterman Show
