A Solid Liquid, No a Liquid Solid!

by Steve B.

I tried the experiment that Violet told us about and it's very strange! I will explain it to you. If you mix some corn starch with some water it does a strange thing. In a bowl it looks like a liquid but if you touch it it's very hard! If you take a piece of it, it looks like plasticine. When you stop touching it, it becomes a hard liquid. It's really strange! Sometimes we must add more water because it becomes dry.
