Today when we arrived at Tully, the children were watching a video about Mars. It was pretty interesting learning about the Mars Rover and how it works. After the video, they learned about properties. They learned that to determine properties it is useful to use the five senses. They listed some properties of Oobleck and then they got to play with it! The Oobleck was really fun and interesting to play with because when sitting in the container it was a liquid, but after squeezing it it became a solid. Oobleck is made from cornstarch and water, it was very simple to make. The cornstarch made it very messy though so I had to be careful not to get it on my clothes, even though it would probably come out. Mrs. P. also told me you can add food coloring to the Oobleck to change its color, but then it would stain hands so she decided not to. The children really enjoyed playing with the Oobleck and getting their hands messy!
