Sounds so simple. How does it work? If you step quickly, you can walk across. Go slowly and you will sink. Another trick: Put oobleck on a speaker and watch it dance. VLab: Solution Properties. Tags lab science STEM. Oobleck is a mixture of a solid corn starch suspended in a liquid water. Oobleck behaves like a solid when force is acted on it quickly. This is because the pressure forces all the particles of corn starch together and they behave like a solid. For this reason oobleck is known as a non-Newtonian Fluid.
If you apply a force to it by smacking or squeezing it this fluid will become a solid. In non-Newtonian fluids, viscosity can change when under force to either more liquid or more solid.
Oobleck is a suspension of cornstarch and water that can behave like a solid or a liquid depending on how much pressure you apply. Try to grab some in your hand, and it will form a solid ball in your palm until you release the pressure. Then, it will flow out between your fingers. In oobleck, the relatively large solid cornstarch molecules form long chains.
The smaller water molecules flow past each other and between cornstarch molecules allowing the chains to slide and flow around each other. This is why oobleck behaves like a liquid when it is not under pressure. Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid ; it has properties of both liquids and solids. You can slowly dip your hand into it like a liquid , but if you squeeze the oobleck or punch it, it will feel solid. Activity: Mix Oobleck with your hands. Grab a handful and mold it using just your hands.
Try creating a cube or a sphere shape. It's made by mixing cornflour also called cornstarch with water. Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid.
Firdaws Fahndrich Teacher. Is Oobleck a homogeneous mixture? In addition to being a non-Newtonian fluid, Oobleck can be called a heterogeneous mixture. Such a mixture is called a homogeneous mixture , or solution. Zakaria Morosan Teacher. 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. Celida Cacciatore Reviewer. What state of matter is peanut butter? Peanut butter is a non-Newtonian fluid. Its viscosity is dependent on the forces being applied to it. This is a fancy way of saying that peanut butter doesn't really flow like a liquid, until you press on it. Hodaifa Burghaus Reviewer. Can Oobleck protect an egg? The Oobleck protects the egg.
When it hits the ground, a quick direct force is applied to the Oobleck. The cornstarch clumps together and hardens like a solid, absorbing the impact and protecting the plastic egg. Canuta Ibaiaga Reviewer. Can you freeze Oobleck? If you freeze it , it will become solid. But not Oobleck , it becomes solid under pressure.
Catalin Calvi Supporter. Can you swim in Oobleck? Oobleck is unique because it can behave as both a solid and a liquid.
If you could go swimming in a pool of oobleck , the oobleck would feel like a liquid when you moved slowly, but would act like a solid if you tried to swim around quickly.
This kind of fluid is called a dilatant material or a shear thickening fluid. It becomes more viscous when agitated or compressed. Another non-Newtonian liquid is ketchup. Ketchup behaves in the opposite way from Oobleck. Liquids like this are called shear thinning liquids. If you leave a bottle of Ketchup on a shelf, it becomes thicker or more viscous. Nearly everyone has experienced this while trying to pour the liquid from a new bottle — it refuses to move.
If you shake the bottle or stir it up, it becomes less viscous and pours easily. When sitting still, the granules of starch are surrounded by water.
The surface tension of the water keeps it from completely flowing out of the spaces between the granules.
The cushion of water provides quite a bit of lubrication and allows the granules to move freely.
