<br>Oobleck is an easy-to-make substance that has some interesting physical properties. Oobleck is an example of a non-Newtonian fluid. Many common liquids like water and alcohol have a constant viscosity. But Oobleck can be liquid when held loosely in your hand, and can also act like a solid if it's hit more violently. The name comes from Dr. Seuss's 1949 children's book, Bartholomew and the Oobleck, which is about a king who is so bored with the weather in his kingdom that he wants something completely new to fall from the sky.<ref name="rf16004">http://sciencecafe.org/content/how-to-make-oobleck/</ref> | <br>Oobleck is an easy-to-make substance that has some interesting physical properties.
