Today, we did 2 experiments. The first one was cooking an egg to demonstrate both a physical and chemical changes.<\/p>\n

(We forgot to take pictures of this)<\/p>\n

We also conducted an Oobleck experiment. We used the Scientific Methods to conduct the experiment. We learned that Oobleck is a Non-Newtonian Fluid \u2013 it looks like liquid but feels like solid!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Question<\/span><\/b>: What happens when you mix cornstarch with water?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hypothesis<\/span><\/b>: I think that when I mix the supplies, the mixture will become ______________.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Supplies:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup of cornstarch<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup of water<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Test the Hypothesis following this process:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1: Add water to a cup.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2: Add food colouring.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3: Add cornstarch.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 4: Mix everything up.\u00a0 Mixture should be able to be picked up like a solid but still flow like a liquid. This is a Non-Newtonian fluid.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 5: Record observation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/b>: We\u00a0 learned that slime is a non-Newtonian fluid which is neither a liquid or solid depending on the forces acting upon it and does not have a constant viscosity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Big Idea:<\/span><\/b> Materials can be changed through physical and chemical processes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First Peoples Principles of Learning:<\/span><\/b> Learning takes patience and time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Curriculum Competencies:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
