Another guest scientist has come to visit! Mrs. Archer (Kat's mother) brought gloves, goggles, ingredients, and even a special surprise to the classroom. When asked to predict what happens when you mix cornstarch and water, the children came up with all kinds of ideas. After reading Oobleck by Dr. Seus, Mrs. Archer had the Panairs work together to combine cornstarch, water, and green food coloring to create our own Oobleck!! Mrs. Archer explained to us that the Oobleck that we made is known as a polymer. Polymers are simply different forms of plastic. We discovered that being a scientist can be very VERY messy, but so much fun!! Thank you again Mrs. Archer!!
