learned about matter from making a non newtonian fluid: oobleck

Science

• The student learned about states of matter by observing the non-Newtonian fluid change from a liquid to a solid when pressure is applied.
• They gained an understanding of the concept of viscosity as they observed the fluid's resistance to flow and how it changes based on force.
• They also learned about the scientific method by making observations, asking questions, and conducting experiments to understand the behavior of the oobleck.

For continued development, encourage the student to practice making predictions and conducting simple experiments using other household materials to explore different scientific concepts. They can also be introduced to the concept of molecular structures and how they relate to the properties of different materials.
