kiwis- making Oobleck

                                     Making Oobleck

Learning is happening through play. Kiwis have experienced and felt new texture by making Oobleck. Kids helped to add the ingredients of cornstarch and water to enjoy feeling the texture of the oobleck. They have learned about soft and hard (solid and liquid) by practising with different ways of touching the dough. When they pressed hardly and with much pressure, then they felt it so hard and solid. On the other hand, and when they touch the dough nicely and softly then they felt it so soft as runny

. Kids enjoyed their new experience and had so much fun by playing with it.

Purpose:

• To learn that we can use materials available at home to make something useful.
