Oobleck Recipe: Just Wing it



This is an entertaining oobleck video, which shows how much fun oobleck is. The oobleck recipe in this video uses the same ingredients like all other oobleck recipes: cornstarch and water. The difference with this recipe is that there is no precise measurements or quantities. Basically, you keep adding either water or cornstarch until it looks right. The recipe is more relaxed and you decide when the oobleck looks right.

The oobleck in this video looks really cool. The oobleck sits on a speaker at first, but as the speaker plays, the oobleck moves. The movements of the oobleck is like something between a solid and a liquid... which looks really cool. Bit's of oobleck shoot off at random times and the oobleck moves almost as if it's dancing. Oobleck is really a lot of fun...
