Science Club - Oobleck

Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? It’s both!

Our intrepid scientists, under the guidance of the amazing Miss Khan, have been looking at the different states of matter.

If you're at a loose end  - making your own oobleck is an easy, cheap, rainy day science activity that only requires a couple of everyday kitchen ingredients and is sure to fascinate kids and adults alike.

Oobleck sounds complicated, but it’s not. It gets its unusual name from a Dr Seuss story, but really, it’s one of the simplest science activities you can do with your children. They will be enthralled by the way it can be both solid and liquid (sometimes referred to as a ‘non-Newtonian fluid’ because it does not follow Isaac Newton’s observations on how liquids behave).

Have a look at some of our oobleck creations below.
