In this video, used as part of the Northeast Ohio Parent KidStream series, an educator at the Children’s Museum of Cleveland offers step-by-step instructions for making your own fun, messy oobleck at home.
Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid, meaning that it doesn’t follow Newton’s law of viscosity. Move it slowly, and it flows like a liquid; hit it or press it quickly, and it locks up like a solid! Oobleck is super easy to make at home, using just corn starch, water, and food coloring!
While the museum is closed due to COVID-19 precautions, check its website and Facebook page for special at-home activities, movement lessons, storytimes and more, all created by CMC staff.
