For one of our "Mad Scientist Fridays", the Kindergartners were able to create, experiment, and play with Oobleck. First, we read the book "Bartholomew and the Oobleck" by Dr. Seuss. We then spent some time brainstorming what it would be like to have Oobleck falling from the sky and all over the place. After talking about it, I let the Kindergartners know that we would be making our very own oobleck. With their eyes as big as saucers, they were very excited and ready to make a hypothesis about what it would feel like and if it would work.
With our paint shirts on and our tables covered, the Kindergartners successfully made their very own oobleck (and their very own mess!) They discovered that oobleck is not only a liquid but it can also act as a solid. What an amazing substance it is! Lastly, we packed up our oobleck to bring home and gathered to talk about our observations. Students were describing oobleck as slimy, gooey, stiff, strong, and even stretchy. What great descriptive words. For a few pictures of our amazing experiment, enjoy the slideshow below!
