In this lab, we tested this squishy stuff called Oobleck to figure out if it acts more like a liquid or a solid. We mixed cornstarch and water to make the Oobleck and then put it in a big container. We tried pushing our hands into it slowly and quickly to see how it would behave.
Our guess, or hypothesis, was that the Oobleck would act like a liquid when we applied slow pressure, but more like a solid when we applied fast pressure. And guess what? We were right!
When we pushed our hands into the Oobleck slowly, it was all squishy and allowed our hands to sink in. It acted just like a liquid. But when we tried to push our hands into it really fast, it became hard and tough to move. It acted just like a solid.
So yeah, our hypothesis was correct. The Oobleck can be both a liquid and a solid depending on how fast we push on it.
To make our experiment even better, we could have done more tries or tried different ways of applying pressure to make sure we got consistent results. Also, recording videos of our experiments would have been cool because we could watch them back and study the Oobleck's behavior in more detail.
