Bruce Museum at Home STEAM: Lesson # 11: Whatsa Matter? Liquids vs. Solids

This week’s STEAM at Home lesson is a continuation of last week’s exploration of physical interactions and reactions. Learners will experiment with creating a non-Newtonian fluid (oobleck) and explore its physical interactions. The experiments in this activity do not use difficult-to-source materials but are messy and require specific materials. Please plan accordingly before beginning any of these projects with your learners.

Learners will use their science journal to predict, record, and explore their experiments. If your learner hasn’t made a science journal, instructions can be found here. If learners have a notebook, or other paper they prefer to use, that’s fine.
