This week we learned all about matter! We talked about the 3 different kinds of matter and sorted objects into those categories.
We also read Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss and then CREATED OUR OWN OOBLECK!
The kids had a blast mixing together the ingredients and getting to see them transform into a gooey mixture. They were surprised to see that Oobleck showed properties of both a solid (they could hold it and it felt hard) and a liquid (when they didn't touch it, the Oobleck would pour).
We did the experiment in a Ziploc bag, which seemed to both contain the mess and keep the Oobleck from drying out!
Oobleck Recipe below!
