Can you make Oobleck with flour and water?

Can you make Oobleck with flour and water?

Flour (standard wheat flour) will not make Oobleck. Once combined with water, it will create a paste instead, which is how a simple homemade glue is actually made. The usual ingredient is cornflour but you can also use arrowroot powder or tapioca powder instead, see: How to Make Oobleck without Cornstarch.

How do you make Oobleck slime with flour?

It was HARD to mix at first, but then after mixing for a bit, it turned into liquid. After some back and forth we found 2 1/4 cups of arrowroot flour and 2/3 cup of water gave us a nice non-Newtonian Fluid that was similar in consistency to our standard cornstarch oobleck. Nicely solid under pressure.

Can you make Oobleck with corn flour?

Oobleck is cornflour and water. Slowly add 1.5 to two parts cornflour, stirring constantly. Starch particles become suspended in water — but too much water will create liquid.

How do you make Oobleck ingredients?

Mix 2 cups of cornstarch to 1 cup of water into a bowl. Mix the cornstarch and water until your oobleck is formed. Tip: If you would like to color your oobleck, add your food coloring to your water and then mix with the cornstarch.

Can you cut Oobleck?

If you squeeze your fingers together quickly you can tear the oobleck and open a hole to see the bottom of the pan. Pour some oobleck from a spoon or a small cup back into the pan and observe how it drips and flows. You can even break or cut the oobleck with scissors as it pours.

How do you throw away Oobleck?

Do not dispose of the oobleck in the sink! We place the oobleck mixture into plastic trash bags and carry to the dumpster. If indoors, we have found that allowing the area to air dry first makes it easier to sweep up the cornstarch. If outside and a garden hose is available, hose down the area sufficiently with water.

Is honey a non-Newtonian fluid?

In a non-Newtonian fluid, the viscosity changes in response to an applied strain or shearing force, thereby straddling the boundary between liquid and solid behavior. Blood, ketchup, yogurt, gravy, mud, pudding, custard, thickened pie fillings and, yes, honey, are all examples of non-Newtonian fluids.

Is ketchup a non Newtonian fluid?

In non-Newtonian fluids, viscosity can change when under force to either more liquid or more solid. Ketchup, for example, becomes runnier when shaken and is thus a non-Newtonian fluid. The fluid can even exhibit time-dependent viscosity. Therefore, a constant coefficient of viscosity cannot be defined.

What type of fluid is honey?

Liquid honey is a homogeneous fluid, a concentrated solution of sugars and other liquid substances. The majority of liquid honeys have characteristics of Newtonian fluids, which is why there are few limitations to research methods.
