The Oobleck Files
By Jeremy L. and Adam T.
On Thursday, 9/1/11, the Milton AEP conducted a bizarre experiment. The experiment included cornstarch, food coloring, and water. Students added the water to the cornstarch and created a substance that turned from a liquid to a solid and back again. Students emptied the bag into their hands and it felt as if it was wet clay! They took the experimentation to a new level, when they added food coloring which combined with the water and cornstarch causing it to turn into a more colorful substance.
The experiment took place in the down stairs classroom at Milton PATH AEP program.The students conducted it to see what would be the outcome. They started to see what was going on with their wild experiment. It was changing colors right before their very own eyes, further more they took out the color changing substance and put it into our hands and it slipped through our fingers, which surprised them even more than when it changed colors.
One student said "It was an interesting experiment, even though it was extremely messy, and it was really fun to mess around with." Coach Kiss told us "that the experiment went surprisingly well considering the circumstances even though it was messy."
