noun a type of non-Newtonian fluid that exhibits properties of both liquids and solids
Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid made of cornstarch and water that exhibits properties of both liquids and solids. It is often used in science experiments to demonstrate principles of viscosity and shear thickening.
Oobleck is commonly used in hands-on science activities in schools to engage students in learning about states of matter and physical properties.
Some artists use oobleck in their creative projects to explore its unique texture and properties in their work.
Oobleck's properties have inspired engineers to develop new materials with similar non-Newtonian behavior for various applications.
Oobleck-like substances are sometimes used in food science experiments to study the flow properties of certain food products.
Oobleck has gained popularity as a fun and messy play material for children, often used in sensory play and science-themed parties.
Oobleck is often used by scientists in the field of materials science to study non-Newtonian fluids and their unique properties.
Engineers may use oobleck as a teaching tool to demonstrate principles of viscosity and fluid dynamics to students or as a fun way to engage in hands-on learning.
Teachers may use oobleck as a science experiment to teach students about states of matter and the properties of non-Newtonian fluids.
