Pretty interesting!



Think it's impossible to walk on liquid? Think again. Join Anthony and Tara as they make a pool of non-Newtonian fluid, out of oobleck, and walk, run, jump and bike across it. Thanks, science, for the awesome cornstarch pool party!

Experiment Tips:
• Use one part water, two parts cornstarch
• Walk quickly, the faster you go the more solid it feels
• Add food coloring to observe how it moves
