ProfessorYou get an AMAZING goo! It's soft and runny if you touch it gently, but the harder you hit it, the harder it becomes. It's a great thing for kids and adults alike to play with!
See the Web Links for how to prepare the mixture and an explanation of how it works (be sure to watch the YouTube video!) It's a non-Newtonian fluid. Like stated above, soft hits--runny liquid like substance-- hard hits -- solid like substance--. WHY: When you hit the fluid hard the molecules compress and that energy used is enough to make them solid. When the energy dissipates, then the solidity is gone. Side note: Its really fun (kind of expensive) to get a pool full and run across it!
Depending on the ratio, you will wind up with a non-newtonian fluid.

Will cornstarch dissolve in water?
Yes, cornstarch can dissolve in water to form a mixture called a suspension. When stirred, the cornstarch particles disperse in the water but do not fully dissolve like sugar or salt would.
How do you separate cornstarch salt and rocks?
To separate cornstarch, salt, and rocks, you can first mix them with water to create a suspension. The cornstarch will settle at the bottom, while the salt will dissolve in the water. Then, you can use filtration to separate the rocks from the mixture. Finally, you can evaporate the water to retrieve the salt.
What solid foods dissolve in water?
Examples of solid foods that dissolve in water include sugar, salt, gelatin, and cornstarch. These substances break down into their molecular components when mixed with water, forming a solution.
Is cornstarch mixed with water a chemical reaction?
No, mixing cornstarch with water is not a chemical reaction. It is a physical change. The cornstarch particles disperse throughout the water, but no new substances are formed.
What is the chemical formula for cornstarch added to water?
The chemical formula for cornstarch is (C6H10O5)n. When cornstarch is added to water, it does not form a specific chemical formula but rather creates a mixture where the cornstarch particles disperse throughout the water.
