Oobleck was named after a material in a Dr. Seuss book. Oobleck is created when you mix corn flour or cornstarch together with water. This creates a fluid slime like material that is known to not follow Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of fluid. If you put stress on Oobleck, it will turn into a solid. If you move your hand slowly through it, then it feels like moving your hand through water. This happens because when you hit the Oobleck hard and fast with things like your hand, the particles of the corn flour or cornstarch packs together making it a temporary solid. When you move your hand slowly and gently throughout the Oobleck, the particles have time to move out of the way allowing your hand to pass through like water.

I am very quiet at school but very annoying at home.

I wonder if I’ll be able to do a job interview.

I hear my sister and my parents telling me to be quiet.

I see a lot of students that love to talk at school.

I wish I’ll finally get a brother.

I am very quiet at school but super annoying at home.

I pretend I’m a monster and scare my baby sister.

I feel like I don’t talk enough at school.

I touch anything that can be a distraction.

I worry I will fail school.

I cry when I laugh way too hard.

I am very quiet at school and super annoying at home.

I understand that I won’t be quiet at home.

I say a lot of useless questions at home.

I dream about being able to talk for a long time without getting in trouble.

I try to talk to other students besides my friends.

I hope I’ll be able to pass college.

I am very quiet at school but super annoying at home.
