CORNSTARCH AND WATER: Observations
Cornstarch is a liquid and a solid.
Cornstarch particles are very dense.
Once you have the right consistency, you can quickly make a cornstarch ball, throw it in the air, and watch it as it turns to liquid again!
If there is too much water, the cornstarch will simply become a liquid.
If there is too much cornstarch in the mixture, it will just become a solid.
Based on my observations cornstarch can be both a solid and a liquid.
GUMMY WORMS: Observations
The worms instantly stuck together. They filled up with water much like filling a balloon with with water. After being removed from the water, they turned hard. Small drops of liquid called sodium alginate turned into little "marbles." These worms were created by a chemical reaction between sodium alginate and sodium cholride. After the reaction the worms appeared to be like slimy plastic.
