Tuesday June 23rd / Solid or Liquid AKA Gloop AKA OObleck
Preschooler
You need:
cornstarch
water
plastic bowl
OR cookie sheet
This mix is about 2 parts cornstarch to 1 part water. But that is not exact. Watch the video! The substance is very entertaining to play with, and very messy for little ones. I suggest outside.
Questions to ask:
Can you stir it fast? Can you stir it slow? What happens when you go fast? What happens when you go slow? Try to make it into a ball (go fast). Tap your fingers very hard and fast on top, what happens? Tap your fingersslow and gently on top, what happens?
This substance acts like both a liquid and a solid.
