Our Science Learning

Exploring Change with States of Matter 

This week we were learning with Miss Winter about Oobleck. We really enjoyed making Oobleck and testing how various items sank and then raised to the surface of the Oobleck. We found that when we poured the Oobleck it acted like a liquid, when we grabbed it in our hands it oozed through our fingers and when we put pressure on the Oobleck it behaved like a solid.

If you were trapped in a bath full of Oobleck, how would you escape?

This website might be able to help you find a solution to your problem.

  4. oobleck is fun to play with but it's messy. Room 11 love to play with it and squeeze it.

    Do you think you can stretch it? or form it into a ball?
