Ooblek

If we're not gettin' gak-tastic, we're busy making this concoction (called "Oobleck" by some). It consists of

• 1 1/2 C. Corn Starch
  
• 1 C. Water
  
• Food Color

Mix ingredients. When pushed or tapped or knocked on, the mixture appears dry and solid. When held and dripped, it's a liquid. Like magic!

Of course, we "painted" ourselves with the corn starch as well. (It reminded me that old-timey Cornsilk powder from the drug stores.)



Neat food coloring design.



It makes a terrible mess, but this science experiment is totally worth all the clean-up.
