Oobleck and Non-Newtonian Fluids

The video explores the concept of matter, focusing on its different states: solids, liquids, and gases. It introduces the idea of non-Newtonian fluids, which do not conform to the typical behavior of these states. The video demonstrates how to make Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid, and explains its unique properties, such as changing viscosity under pressure. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids and their ability to act like multiple states of matter.

What are the three traditional states of matter discussed in the introduction?

• Solid, Gas, Plasma

• Solid, Liquid, Gas

• Solid, Liquid, Plasma

• Liquid, Gas, Plasma

Which property is common to liquids but not to solids?

• No definite shape

• Definite size

• Definite shape

• No definite size

What is a non-Newtonian fluid?

• A fluid that behaves like a solid under pressure

• A fluid that has a constant viscosity

• A fluid that changes color under pressure

• A fluid that evaporates quickly

What is the main ingredient needed to make Oobleck?

• Sugar

• Baking soda

• Cornstarch

• Flour

How does Oobleck behave when pressure is applied?

• It evaporates

• It acts like a solid

• It becomes a gas

• It remains a liquid
