Okay, I must admit upfront that this is more like a science activity than an experiment. We did NOT follow the scientific method in any way, shape, or form. In fact, I almost didn't do this because the teacher in me was critiquing the lack of hypothesis, variables, etc. But then I remembered. This is a SUMMER bucket list! This is the only time of year where my 6-year-old will not be inundated with Common Core Standards, SAT 10 testing, and teachers who are preparing for TEAM evaluations. No evaluator will be walking into my kitchen unannounced to see if I've met the 72 indicators on the TEAM rubric. This is about allowing my children to be kids. This is about living life to the fullest and having good old-fashioned family fun!
So, we got down to business and made some Oobleck. If you're not familiar with oobleck, click

Lennon LOVED the Oobleck. He played with it for at least 3 hours and then some more the next day. Even Dennis played with it. If you've never made Oobleck before, I highly recommend it. Even if you don't have kids, it's fun for all ages.
