  • Hi! My names Ray!

  • And welcome to

  • part 1 of our 3 part project!

  • Things you can make with household ingredients!

  • This is a great starter project to see

  • how well you can mix ingredients!

  • Today we're going to be making Oobleck

  • and Oobleck os one of those interesting things

  • is similar to quick sand

  • where it's not a complete solid

  • but also nota complete liquid.

  • The things you'll need for todays project include:

  • a towel for cleaning,

  • and a spatula for mixing,

  • a large mixing bowl,

  • assorted food coloring,

  • 2 cups of cornstarch,

  • 1 cup of warm water.

  • First mix

  • 2 cups of cornstarch.

  • Next we're going to add

  • the food coloring to the water.

  • This will make

  • clean up a lot more easier.

  • Add a few drops of blue,

  • a little bit of red,

  • to make an interesting purple.

  • Next you're going to take your

  • water and food coloring mixture

  • and slowly add it

  • into the cornstarch.

  • You might not even use all of the water

  • slowly add it into the cornstarch.

  • and once it solidifies

  • you know your Oobleck is ready.

  • Pour a little bit

  • Mix.

  • Little bit more.

  • And as you do this

  • you could see,

  • that the Oobleck is starting to form.

  • Keep mixing

  • until it starts to form

  • and once

  • starts to mix

  • feel free to get a little bit dirty

  • and start using your hands.

  • This will actually allow you to get a

  • better feel

  • of what

  • the Oobleck should start to feel like.

  • And it will actually make things a lot more easier

  • to mix.

  • Now that you have

  • all of your ingredients mixed together

  • it should have a really interesting

  • consistency of your Oobleck.

  • It's not a complete solid

  • and it's not a complete liquid.

  • Try to see how it reacts when

  • you add pressure to it

  • and when you don't add pressure to it.

  • Try picking it up.

  • See

  • if you could even pick it up

  • And what happens when it just sits in your hands

  • verses you trying to squeeze it.

  • I hope you enjoyed playing around with Oobleck!

  • and see what interesting

  • observations you can make with this!

  • Check out our next weeks video

  • part 2

  • of what you can make with

  • house hold ingredients!

  • Bye!

  • I'm trying to pick up a huge blob!

  • Are we still rolling?

  • AHAHAHA!!
