We have been discussing the 5 senses over the last couple weeks and this week we have been working on the sense of touch. We talked about things that feel rough, soft, squishy, hard, wet, dry, etc. Yesterday the children made Goop out of cornstarch and water. We noticed it is hard when not being touched but when we pick it up it begins to 'melt'. We had so much fun playing around with the Goop that today we decided to make something else- Flubber! The Flubber which is made from Borax, water and glue was not quite like the Goop. It forms a rubbery, bouncy, squishy substance. We had fun stretching it, rolling it, squishing it and making shapes out of it.
If you would like to make either of these experiments please see the link below the pictures.
Enjoy!
