Oobleck



Oobleck

We all love oobleck!!

It's so awesome to have something that is a liquid AND a solid!








This term we are Inquiring about science.

'What's the Matter'

To start the term we made 'Herman the German friendship cake'

To make this cake you first make a starter.

You keep this starter for 10 days!!

You actually have to feed it - because it gets hungry!!

If it bubbles - It's alive.

If you put it in the fridge it will die.

After 10 days we got to make a cake.  It was REALLY yummy!

Some of us took some home to make our own cakes.













Hill slide


How fast can you slide down a hill?

What 'material' would allow you to slide the fastest?

That's what we wanted to find out.




Cardboard was the fastest.

We had lots of fun.

We were able to use our experiences for our writing.
