Fun Science Experiment

In my opinion this was the best science experiment ever! You put 1 cup of cornstarch in a dish, add 2/3 cup of water to it and stir. Then add another 1/2 cup of cornstarch and mix. It became a gooey mixture that is solid when you put pressure on it, but a liquid when you don't. This experiment was a simulation of Plastic Rock that is in the mantle of the earth. Here are some pictures:

We also added blue food colouring...

which kind of turned our hands blue

It was really fun to play with and I loved it!
