Our hypothesis was that it would be difficult to remove a toy from cornstarch quicksand goo. The experiment involved mixing cornstarch and water in a bowl to create a gooey mixture. A toy was dropped into the mixture, but contrary to expectations, the toy was easy to remove, disproving the original hypothesis.
3. Ingredients
The ingredients for this experiment will be:one 16 ounces of
cornstarch, large mixing bowl, cookie sheet, square cake
pan(or something similar),pitcher of water, spoon, gallon size
ziplock bag, newspaper to cover the floor, water, and food
coloring.
4. Step 1
Pour 4 ounces of coes cornstarch into large mixing bowl and slowly add ½ cup
water
5. Step 2
Continue adding cornstarch and water in small amounts until you get a mixture
that has a consistency of honey you will end up with about using the whole box of
cornstarch and one to two cups of water
6. Step 3
Sink your hand into the bowl of quicksand and notice its unusual consistency
compare what it feels like to move your hand around slowly and then very quickly
you can't move your hand around very fast in fact the faster you thrash it around
the more like a solid the gooey stuff becomes sink your entire hand into the goo
and try to grab the fluid and pull it up
7. Step 4
Drop a plastic toy into the cornstarch mixture and then try to get it out it'so pretty
tough then have fun with your goo
8. Writing down our results
Our results were that the toy was very easy to get out of the goo
9. Our goo recipe turned out great but it was fairly easy to get the toy out so our
hypothesis was wrong
Conclusion
Ps this is not
edible
