Ingredients:

2 cups of cornflour

1 cup of water

1 or 2 drops of food colouring

The Science Bit!

Cornflour is made up of lots of long, stringy particles that don’t dissolve in water. However, they do spread themselves out, which allows the gloops to act as both a solid and a liquid. When you roll the mixture in your hands or apply any force to it, the gloop joins together and becomes solid. But if you let the gloop set or hold it up and allow gravity to come into play, it dribbles about as the particles side over each other in liquid form.
