We really enjoyed Science Week this year and ended it by making a non-newtonian liquid called 'Gloop'. We made the gloop by mixing together water, cornflour and a drop of food colouring. To our amazement, the liquid acted like a solid when we applied force to it. We had great fun making a mess and carrying out different tests on it. At the end, we poured all of the gloop into a ziploc bag and added an unbroken egg. We then dropped the egg from varying heights and were impressed by how long it took the egg to break.
