The Mataura Team's Book of Science Experiments

We just love doing Science in Room 2.  Every week this term we will do a different science experiment.  Then we will write about it.

Riley had a brilliant idea.  "We should make a book about it," he said.

And so The Mataura Team's Book of Science Experiments was born.

Harry had a brilliant idea too.  "We should put it on our blog," he suggested.

And so we have done just that.

HOW  TO  MAKE  OOBLECK

You  need  to  get:

    ½ cup  of  cornflour     1  bowl

    ¼ cup  of  water         1  spoon

What  to  do:

1. Put  the  cornflour  in  the  bowl.

2. Add  the  water.

3. Stir  the  mixture.  

It  will  become  a  sticky  liquid  for  you  to  play  with.  

By Sam, Riley, Hunter & Harry.

(You can add more water to make it runny or more cornflour to make it dryer)

Oobleck  is  milky  white  but  you  do  not  want  to  drink  it.

Oobleck  is  sticky  and  weird.

Oobleck  feels  like  a  marshmallow  on  your  fingers.

By Eli, Amelia, Charlotte, Jamie, Daniel and Lylla.

Oobleck  feels  different. 

It’s  like  a   ballerina  dancing  on  your  hand, and  the  dry  cornflour

feels  like  a  ballerina’s  tutu.
