science stuff

I am a science teacher, and I used this with my 6th graders this year. I didn't give it a name, but we were studying solids liquids and gases, and they needed to play with the ooze to try and figure out which category it fit into. It has characteristics of both a liquid and a solid, so they were to take sides, and defend which they thought it was and why. It is actually considered a "non-Newtonian fluid" which is a special category. The more pressure that you put on it, the more it will resist. Other "non-Newtonian fluids" : quicksand and ketchup! Have fun!
