Fun Science Experiments for Kids
There's an experiment that demonstrates iso- and thixo-tropy properties of certain emulsions (fluid mixtures) -- say what?
Well, think glop; gooey, squeezy, yucky GLOP - and you've got it!
By mixing cornstarch and water together and then playing in it, you can learn all about Isotropy -- the property of a fluid to become firm when agitated -- like at the beach when you walk in wet sand: walk slowly, and the sand starts to become more fluid (and you sink a little). Run quickly, and the sand remains firm.
It was some feat typing this, I'll have you know. There's glop everywhere...
