Oobleck is a mixture of cornstarch and water that behaves as a solid when stress is applied through hitting or smacking, but flows like a liquid without stress, making it a non-Newtonian fluid. Recipes are provided for making oobleck with a 4 tsp cornstarch and 3 tsp water mixture, as well as a water, borax, and glue polymer colloid solution.

Increased stress such as hitting or smacking the solution will make it solid like; no stress will make it a liquid.
Newtonian Fluid- Cornstarch and
RecipesNonWater Solution (Oobleck) Mix 4 tsp of cornstarch and with 3 tsp of water Increased stress such as hitting or smacking the solution will make it solid like, no stress will make it liquid. Polymer Colloid - Water Borax Glue Solution Mix cup water with 1 teaspoon borax to make borax water solution. Gradually add drops of solution to one tablespoon of glue (keep adding drops until an appropriate consistency) and mix.
