Oobleck, a fascinating substance also known as “magic mud,” is a non-Newtonian fluid that exhibits unique properties. When force is applied quickly, it behaves like a solid, but under sustained or slow force, it flows like a liquid. Traditionally, oobleck is made using cornstarch and water, but it’s possible to create a similar substance without cornstarch.
This cornstarch-free oobleck offers several benefits. It’s made from household ingredients, making it accessible and inexpensive. It’s also gluten-free, catering to individuals with dietary restrictions. Additionally, its unique properties make it an engaging sensory and educational tool for children and adults alike.
