How To Make Oobleck (Free Printable Worksheet)
SHARE

Have you ever been curious about a substance that can act like both a liquid and a solid at the same time? It may sound impossible, but with a simple recipe, you can create an amazing substance called Oobleck that defies the laws of physics! Oobleck is classified as a “non-Newtonian fluid,” which means it behaves like a solid when pressure is applied but turns back into a liquid when the pressure is released. This fun and messy experiment can be done at home or in the classroom, making it a perfect hands-on learning experience for kids.

The Oobleck experiment is a great way to introduce the concept of non-Newtonian fluids and demonstrate how materials can react differently under varying stress conditions. Since Oobleck does not follow the typical rules of liquids, it provides a unique and engaging learning opportunity for students.

To make Oobleck, you will need just a few simple ingredients: 2 cups of cornstarch, 1 cup of water, food coloring (optional but fun), a mixing bowl, a spoon (or your hands), and a measuring cup. By following these step-by-step instructions, you can create your own Oobleck at home or in the classroom.

Start by measuring and pouring the cornstarch into a mixing bowl. Then, prepare colored water by adding a few drops of food coloring to the water and stirring until fully dissolved. Slowly pour the colored water into the bowl of cornstarch, mixing it together until the texture changes. Once the mixture comes together, use your hands to knead and mix the Oobleck until it reaches the desired consistency.

Now it’s time to play and explore with your Oobleck! Squeeze it, poke it, roll it into a ball, or tap it quickly to see how it reacts. The more pressure you apply, the more solid it becomes, but it flows like a liquid when you release it. This unique property of Oobleck showcases its non-Newtonian behavior and provides a fun and educational experience for kids.

After you’re done playing with Oobleck, remember to clean up the mess by letting the mixture dry out and then sweeping it up or vacuuming it. Oobleck can be messy, so it’s best to conduct this experiment in an easy-to-clean area.

In conclusion, Oobleck is a fascinating substance that can teach us about the properties of solids and liquids in an interactive and hands-on way. By experimenting with Oobleck, students can explore concepts such as speed vs. pressure and different shapes, all while having fun and getting a little messy. Science is all about curiosity and experimentation, so embrace the opportunity to learn and play with Oobleck!

If you’re ready to try the Oobleck experiment with your class, don’t forget to download our free printable worksheet to enhance your lesson and engage your students in this exciting science experiment.

Eliminating Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Medicaid My Administration has been relentlessly committed to rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in Government programs to preserve and protect them for those who rely most on them. The Medicaid program was designed to be a program to compassionately provide taxpayer dollars to healthcare providers who offer care to the most vulnerable Americans. To keep payments reasonable, billable costs for such care were historically capped at the same level that healthcare providers could receive from Medicare. The State and Federal Governments jointly shared this cost burden to ensure those of lesser means did not go untreated. Under the Biden Administration, States and healthcare providers were permitted to game the system. For example, States “taxed” healthcare providers, but sent the same money back to them in the form of a “Medicaid payment,” which automatically unlocked for healthcare providers an additional “burden-sharing” payment from the Federal Government. Through this gimmick, the State could avoid contributing money toward Medicaid services, meaning the State no longer had a reason to be prudent in the amount of reimbursement provided. Instead of paying Medicare rates, many States that utilize these arrangements now pay the same healthcare providers almost three times the Medicare amount, a practice encouraged by the Biden Administration. These State Directed Payments have rapidly accelerated, quadrupling in magnitude over the last 4 years and reaching 0 billion in 2024 alone. This trajectory threatens the Federal Treasury and Medicaid’s long-term stability, and the imbalance between Medicaid and Medicare patients threatens to jeopardize access to care for our seniors. I pledged to protect and improve these important Government healthcare programs for those that rely on them. Seniors on Medicare and Medicaid recipients both deserve access to quality care in a system free from the fraud, waste, and abuse, that enriches the unscrupulous and jeopardizes the programs themselves. We will take action to continue to love and cherish the Medicare and Medicaid programs to ensure they are preserved for those who need them most. The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall therefore take appropriate action to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid, including by ensuring Medicaid payments rates are not higher than Medicare, to the extent permitted by applicable law. This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
