Molten Aluminum Vs. Oobleck (Non-Newtonian Fluid)

The video demonstrates an experiment where molten aluminum is poured into Kublick, a mixture of cornstarch and water. The process of making Kublick is explained, followed by predictions about the experiment's outcome. The experiment is conducted, and the results are observed, showing that the aluminum forms solid pieces within the Kublick. The video concludes with a discussion of the results and the weight of the aluminum pieces.

What are the basic ingredients needed to make Oobleck?

• Sugar and water

• Baking soda and vinegar

• Flour and water

• Cornstarch and water

What is one possible outcome when molten aluminum is poured onto Oobleck?

• The Oobleck will turn into a solid block

• The aluminum will float on the surface

• The aluminum will dissolve in the Oobleck

• The aluminum will evaporate

What was the main concern regarding the gases during the experiment?

• The gases might cause the aluminum to melt faster

• The gases might cause the Oobleck to harden

• The gases might change the color of the Oobleck

• The gases might get trapped and cause an explosion

What was the appearance of the aluminum pieces after the experiment?

• They were shiny and smooth

• They were solid black from carbonized sugar and starch

• They were completely dissolved in the Oobleck

• They were transparent and glass-like

What was the weight of the largest aluminum piece retrieved from the Oobleck?

• 200 grams

• 174 grams

• 150 grams

• 125 grams
