SLIME / OOBLECK: TOUCH AND FEEL ACTIVITY”

Lilies had a lot of fun making slime, playing with it and trying  to get the touch and feel of it. We mixed water with cornstarch and food colouring and created the mixture. The mixture was called slime. 

Slime is a non-newtonian fluid. That is, it acts like a liquid when being poured, but like a solid when a force is acting on it. You can grab it and then it will ooze out of your hands turning into a liquid and light on the fingers giving a very strange feel.
