H is for HATS and I is for ICKY SCIENCE

~ We took the opportunity today to shade ourselves from the sun, break school rules and wear our favourite HATS all day long!
~ ICKY messy fun with Oobleck! Science with cornstarch and water!

Oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid. That is, it acts like a liquid when being poured, but like a solid when a force is acting on it. You can grab it and then it will ooze out of your hands.
Oobleck gets its name from the Dr. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck where a gooey green substance, Oobleck, fell from the sky and wreaked havoc in the kingdom.
