For this lab we started by looking at the differences between liquids and solids and gave each state of matter properties to define them. After defining the states of matter such as liquids and solids we did an experiment to see if we can describe a substance as a liquid or a solid.
the substance we made was called oobleck. To make the oobleck we used cornstarch and water and mixed it into a bowl until we got the right consistency we were looking for. When we got that consistency i was confused on what the substances state of matter was. The oobleck acted like a liquid when i poked a finger into it but when I tried to grab it it stayed hard and acted like a solid.
