The Ls & the Oobleck

One of Louis' favorite Dr. Seuss books is Bartholomew and the Oobleck so we made some today. It's the perfect activity to do with kids, of all ages. It's a solid...it's a liquid...It is also a good opportunity to talk about the properties of fluids and solids and learn about matter. Oobleck is an example of a Non-Newtonian fluid and even without all the neat scientific facts it is just plain fun.

I used this article from Scientific American as a guideline.
