Science happening in Room 10! Making Ooblek

Our current inquiry topic is "Change". We have been doing some science experiments and  are looking at how there can be physical change or chemical change.

Today we made Ooblek. We had to mix water, cornflour and food colouring. We then had great fun playing with it to see how the Ooblek could change from being nearly solid when you press it, to being quite liquid when you squeeze it between your fingers.

Moment in Time
