We decided to make gloop in Room 8 - 'boy did we make some mess' (luckily we decided to do this out on the field). We invited Room 5 to join in with us, seeing as it was such a beautiful sunny day and a nice way to end the week. We were a little disappointed as our gloop didn't turn out exactly how it should have and was a little runny. Next time we would add less water and use more cornflour. It is amazing how the gloop can turn from a solid to a liquid. We are adding the recipe if any of our parents would like to try this recipe out at home.
GLOOP:
Ingredients
2 cups cornflour
1 cup cold water
Instructions
Pour the cornflour into a bowl. Add the cold water slowly, stirring constantly and stop when the water is barely absorbed by the cornflour.
The resulting solution is fascinating to play with. It can be scooped up with the fingers as a mouldable material, but flows like liquid back into the bowl. It will brush off clothing as a dry powder.
I have included some photos of the process in making the gloop:
Looks like you had great fun with your science experiments, Heather.
