== Why This Works == Oobleck is a ''Non-Newtonian Fluid'', which means it is a mixture that doesn't behave like other fluids. When we apply force to the Oobleck, instead of squeezing by or moving around the object, it stiffens up and resists it. This is because the corn starch molecules are pretty big, and they have a hard time sliding by each other. So, instead of trying to squeeze around each other, they stack on each other and make the fluid turn stiff. This is why the Oobleck can crumble, shatter, and be ripped apart! When there isn't a lot of force on it, it behaves like a normal fluid, which is why the Oobleck can drip, puddle and ooze!
