Today we did our first lab in Chemistry lab. First we observed the properties of solids and liquids with pennies and water. After making a list of the properties we moved on to the next subject.
Oobleck is a substance that has qualities that liquids and solids have. Oobleck is made of cornstarch and water, you mix 1:1.75 cornstarch and water together to get oobleck. If you slowly dip your hand into the substance the oobleck will act as a liquid and your hand will sink. If you hit or squeeze oobleck forcefully it will act as a solid. Together as a group, we had to decide whether the oobleck was a solid or a liquid. We decided that it was a liquid because it takes the form of the container that it is in and because it has minimal resistance.
