Oobleck in Room 301

Have you ever read the story, Bartholomew and the Oobleck, by Dr. Seuss? It's a great story about a king who orders a new weather from his royal magicians. What they develop is known as Oobleck which is green and sticky and EVERYWHERE. It wasn't what he had in mind, and I can see why after our messy experiment.



Oobleck is made from corn starch and water, very simple. It is such a strange mixture. Upon first look and feel it is a solild, but then as you pick it up it "magically" changes to a liquid. Check out the pictures below of the kids exploring this weird mixture!
