Hedef

Uygulanan kuvvete bağlı olarak hem katı hem de sıvı gibi davranan Newton-dışı bir akışkan oluşturmak ve incelemek.

Arka Plan

Oobleck is a suspension of cornstarch in water that exhibits shear-thickening (dilatant) behavior. Under slow, gentle force, it flows like a liquid. Under sudden, strong force, the starch particles jam together and it behaves like a solid. This non-Newtonian behavior occurs because the starch particles are suspended at a critical concentration where they can rearrange under slow stress but lock together under rapid stress. The name comes from the Dr. Seuss book 'Bartholomew and the Oobleck.'

Güvenlik Uyarıları

  • Cornstarch is slippery when wet — clean up spills immediately
  • Do not pour oobleck down the drain — it will clog pipes
  • Non-toxic but not for consumption

Malzemeler

  • Cornstarch (400 g)
    About 2 cups
  • Water (250 mL)
    About 1 cup
  • Food coloring (5 drops)
    Optional

Ekipman

Large mixing bowl Spoon Plastic sheet or tray (to contain mess) Speaker with subwoofer (optional, for vibration demo)

Prosedür

1

Place the mixing bowl on the plastic sheet. Add the cornstarch to the bowl.

2

Slowly add water while mixing with your hands. The ideal ratio is about 1.5–2 parts cornstarch to 1 part water. Add water gradually until the mixture is the consistency of thick honey.

Test 2 (Fast force): Punch the surface hard. Your fist bounces off as if hitting a solid.

Test 3 (Shaping): Squeeze a handful quickly into a ball. When you stop squeezing, it melts back into liquid.

Optional: Place the bowl on a speaker playing low-frequency bass. The oobleck forms standing wave patterns and finger-like protrusions.

Beklenen Sonuçlar

The oobleck flows under gentle handling but solidifies under impact. It can be rolled into a ball that melts in your palm. On a vibrating speaker, it forms dramatic standing wave patterns.

Temizlik

Let oobleck dry and scrape off surfaces. Do NOT wash down drains. Dispose of dried oobleck in trash. Wipe surfaces with damp cloth.
