== Demonstration == # Make the Oobleck: Mix one part water with two parts corn starch in one of the tubs. Add more of either as needed to get to a consistency where it crumbles when you grab it, melts and drips off your hand when you hold it, and it is rigid if you hit the surface. You will have to mix it by hand! # Fill the second tub with water, and let students come up and play with the Oobleck. Add more water to the Oobleck as needed, since it will dry out over time, and have students rinse their hands in the water tub after playing with it. # To dispose of the Oobleck, first dilute it fully so it is no longer able to clump. After being diluted, it can be safely poured down a drain. If you don't dilute it, it will clog the drain!
