Oobleck: Solid, Liquid or Gas?

Yesterday in science we explored oobleck. Our task was to observed oobleck and list its properties. Students had to decided whether each property was consistent with a solid, a liquid or a gas. It was not easy and in the end we had about a 2/3 to 1/3 split. Most of the class thought it acted more like a solid and some thought it was more like a liquid. Truthfully, it has the properties of both 🙂

Below are a few videos of students sharing their thinking about oobleck!
