Slime make my lime

You can make your own cornflour slime to learn about fluids and viscosity. To do this experiment you will need: cornflour food colouring a small bowl water

What to do:

Pour some cornflour into a bowl.
Stir in small bits of water until the cornflour has become a very thick paste.
To make the slime the colour that you want it to be, stir really hard about five drops of food colouring into the mixture.
Stir your slime REALLY slowly.
This shouldn't be hard to do.
Stir your slime REALLY fast.
This should be almost impossible.
Now punch your slime REALLY hard and fast.
It should feel like you're punching a solid.
What's happening: Anything that flows is called a fluid. It means that both gases and liquids are fluids. Fluids like water which flow easily are said to have low viscosity, whereas fluids like cold honey which do not flow so easily are said to have a high viscosity.Cornflour slime is a special type of fluid that doesn't follow the usual rules of fluid behaviour. When something hard is on the slim to slime, its viscosity increases and the cornflour slime becomes thicker.
