In the engaging video "Emily's Science Lab: Oobleck," hosted by Emily Calandrelli, an MIT engineer and acclaimed science communicator, viewers explore the fascinating world of non-Newtonian fluids through the popular science experiment featuring Oobleck. Emily walks school-aged children through a hands-on activity, mixing cornstarch and water to create a substance that exhibits properties of both solids and liquids. The video elucidates key scientific concepts such as viscosity and states of matter, using Oobleck to showcase how pressure affects the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids. The science of Oobleck is further contextualized by comparing it with other everyday materials like ketchup and quicksand. This educational video is part of the "Emily's Science Lab" series, designed to inspire curiosity and encourage exploration in young learners, making complex scientific ideas accessible and fun with safe and home-friendly experiments. Also, discover more exciting experiments in her best-selling "Stay Curious and Keep Exploring" book series.
