Let’s make ghost guts (a.k.a. oobleck)! This video stitch (@mrs.b.tv) explains how cornstarch + water = squishy non-Newtonian fluid science slime! Liquid when you pour it, solid when you squeeze it… spooky!

Transcript: Let’s make some ghost guts. This is the perfect spooky science activity. All you need is cornstarch and water. In a bowl, add half a cup of cornstarch and a quarter cup of water. Mix with your hands until it is well combined and totally incorporated. What you’re left with is a non-newtonian fluid often referred to as ooblek. Non-newtonian fluids do not follow newton’s laws of viscosity. Viscosity is a fancy word for flow. Normal liquids flow and take the shape of their container. This water was star-shaped and now it’s circular. But these ghost guts are different. Sometimes they act like a liquid. Like right now, they’re flowing and taking the shape of this pie pan. However, when I squeeze them and apply pressure, the ghost guts solidify. But I can’t do that with water. Add some green food coloring and you have frankenstein guts. Mix in some red food coloring for vampire guts. Or don’t add any food coloring for ghost guts. Now you know!
