Hands-On Science




Since it's a rainy day, we decided to make slimy goo in the kitchen! Isn't that what everyone does? The kids mixed large quantities of corn starch, water and red food coloring (to simulate blood, of course) in bowls. When hands are submerged in the goo, it feels like quicksand. When the goo is placed on a surface, it appears to be liquid, but when slapped with hands or objects it doesn't move! Very cool stuff that kept my kids busy for literally an hour and 20 minutes. Here are the gory pictures. And proof that I actually do "school" sometimes...
