This substance's funny name comes from a Dr. Seuss book called Bartholomew and the Oobleck. Can you feel how smooth the powder is? It's made up of super-fine particles. Keep adding more water until the mixture becomes thick and hardens when you tap on it.
Add more cornstarch if it gets too runny, and more water if it becomes too thick. Be careful not to get it in your eyes, and wash your hands after handling the Oobleck. Drop your hands quickly into the Oobleck, then slowly lower your hands into it. Notice the difference! Multiply the quantity of each ingredient by 10 or more and mix it up. Take off your shoes and socks and try standing in the Oobleck! Can you walk across it without sinking in? Let you feet sink down and then try wiggling your toes.
What happens? In the case of oobleck, viscosity increases when you agitate the slime or apply pressure. Oobleck is a suspension of starch in water. The starch grains remain intact rather than dissolving, which is the key to the slime's interesting properties.
When a sudden force is applied to oobleck, the starch grains rub against each other and lock into position. The phenomenon is called shear thickening and it basically means particles in a dense suspension resist further compression in the direction of shear. When oobleck is at rest, the high surface tension of water causes water droplets to surround the starch granules.
Water acts as a liquid cushion or lubricant, allowing the grains to flow freely. The sudden force pushes the water out of the suspension and jams the starch grains against each other.

How did Oobleck get its name? Oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid. That is, it acts like a liquid when being poured, but like a solid when a force is acting on it. Oobleck gets its name from the Dr. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck where a gooey green substance, Oobleck , fell from the sky and wreaked havoc in the kingdom. Devi Rosmaninho Teacher. What state of matter is snow? Snow is water that crystallizes when the temperature gets below freezing.
Sleet is when the temperature freezes, but then as it falls from the clouds it partially melts. Clouds actually contain 2 states of matter, solid and gas. Rain is liquid. Abdelkamel Mendiadarreta Supporter. Can you store Oobleck? Once oobleck dries it returns to a cornstarch powder that can be easily swept or vacuumed up. To store oobleck let it dry out in a bin open to the air, then refresh it with water when ready to use again.
I tried storing it in an airtight container and after few days it spoiled. Genadio Heynke Supporter. What is a liquid and a solid called? When a liquid changes into a solid , it is called solidification. When a gas changes into a solid , it is called deposition. When a liquid changes into gas, it is called evaporation. Ihintza El Ouahabi Supporter.
Is slime a liquid or solid? Slime is a non- Newtonian liquid , which means that the viscosity, or resistance, of the liquid changes as you apply a stronger force. If you rest your hand on the surface of slime it will sink in, but it you smack it, the surface is solid. Water is a Newtonian liquid and has an unchanging viscosity. They usually sit like a custardy solid at the bottom of their container. They are sticky, their viscosity is high.
But such substances actually just need a bit of a kick to get flowing. You must provide enough force to overcome the internal friction that keeps them stationary, such as by giving them a squeeze, which lowers their viscosity. They can then be easily extruded from a tube, bottle, or packet. When you mix cornstarch into water, the starchy grains become suspended in the liquid, creating a substance with weird non-Newtonian abilities.
When you apply pressure to oobleck, it works the opposite of the previous examples: The liquid becomes more viscous, not less. At the places you apply force, the cornstarch particles get mashed together, trapping water molecules between them, and oobleck temporarily turns into a semi-solid material. This force can be anything, including the sound vibrations from music speakers or a rapidly shaking container, as in the video at the top of this post.
That particular experiment really highlights oobleck's strangeness. The vibrating dish creates bumpy Faraday waves in the liquid. A puff of air introduced into this system creates a hole in the oobleck that just hangs out, not disappearing like you would expect.
