Quicksand Goo or Oobleck!

Yesterday, we decided to make quicksand. Thanks to seeing a video clip of Steve Spangler making it…and the Mythbusters, my house was covered in corn starch. You can go here to get the complete directions. All you need is corn starch and water and there you go. It’s so much fun!!! What was really neat was that you could punch it and it wouldn’t splatter or go anywhere! That is because the corn starch molecules trap the water molecules upon impact and then release about a second or two later. Or something along those science lines. I think Ace loved it the most. He kept saying, “Ewie, gooey!”
