On Monday, February 1st, Miss Tamasi gave us a science experiment which was to see if a substance can be both a solid and a liquid at the same time. In order to do that we had to make a type of slime that was used in one of Dr. Seuss’s books and movies. This slime is called Oobleck. We found out that yes, a solid can be a liquid at the same time! |
When we were making Oobleck, we thought it was sticky, slimy and hard. Miss Tamasi told us to punch it and when we did, it felt like it was a solid. Then she told us to slowly slide our hands in to it. When we did that, it felt just like a liquid! We had fun making it and if you have the materials to make it then you will probably have fun too. After we made the Oobleck, we watched a video of Steve Spangler on the Ellen show about Oobleck. You can see that video below. You can also take a look at the photos that show how much fun we had with this cool substance. |
