Our Oobleck exploration over the past few weeks.
- The Preps viewed a science video to see how Oobleck is made. A procedural text was written together as a modelled and interactive writing experience. We discussed what makes a Oobleck special – it isn’t quite a solid and it isn’t quite a liquid! It depends on how you touch it!
- In the next science workshop, each child wrote their own procedural text in their writing books.
- Finally, the Preps made the Oobleck together and got to experience what it felt like!
We discovered that when you add the same amount of water to cornflour and mix it – it stays a liquid!
After a big mix!! The Preps took turns at touching the Oobleck and experienced what happened when they punched it and when they slowly sunk their hand into the container!
More photos/videos to come!
