TEKS & Objectives
7.6. Matter and energy. The student knows that matter has physical and chemical properties and can undergo physical and chemical changes. The student is expected to distinguish between physical and chemical changes in matter.
7.2.B design and implement experimental investigations by making observations, asking well defined questions, formulating testable hypotheses, and using appropriate equipment and technology
We will investigate the properties of matter.
I will test properties of a non-Newtonian fluid.
1. Review vocabulary and complete quiz.
Matter is anything that has weight and takes up space.
Solid is a type of matter that keeps its shape.
Liquid is a type of matter that takes the shape of its container.
Gas is a type of matter that fills its container.
2. Watch video.
3. Let’s make oobleck!
4. Optional Extention Activities
a.) Watch the video below and try a modified egg cargo drop using oobleck as a protectant.
(Eggsperiment begins at 2 minutes, 30 seconds)
b.) If you have access to Netflix, watch “Walking on Oobleck,” Season 1, Episode 2 of “Emily’s Wonder Lab.”
Follow along with Emily’s DIY non-Newtonian fluid project
c.) Further explore phase changes by creating a fizzy drink, using a chemical reaction.
d.) Listen to a condensed version of Dr. Seuss’s “Bartholomew and the Oobleck,” while you enjoy your drink.
Speaking of states of matter…
The first three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.
What are four and five?
Nine
5. “Duplicate of Oobleck and Non-Newtonian Fluids”
