Ted is a Scientist

Today Ted brought in his cornstarch and water mixture in a plastic bag. He explained how the molecules are oblong shaped and will only slide past each other slowly. The liquid is called a non Newtonian fluid
We squeezed the bag and the liquid became like a solid. It felt like sand being washed away by the sea!



Watch this to see some fun with this liquid!
