Learners add drops of four liquids (water, alcohol, salt water, and detergent solution) to different surfaces and observe the liquids' behavior.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners create a gelatinous slime using guar gum powder and borax. Educators can use this simple activity to introduce learners to colloids.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

This fun video explains how to make a batch of oobleck (or slime) and why this special substance is known as a "non-Newtonian" fluid. Watch as Mr.

This activity has learners observe water and compare it to other liquids.

Learners add different liquids (water, salt water, alcohol, and detergent solution) to water and observe the different ways the different liquids combine with water.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this chemistry activity, learners make a slimy non-Newtonian fluid called "Gluep." Use this activity to introduce learners to polymers and viscosity.

In this activity, learners try to float ink on the surface of water to create a pattern and then capture it with absorbent paper.

In this activity, learners test different food items by timing how long it takes each liquid to slide from the top of a ramp to the bottom.

Learners identify an unknown liquid by comparing its behavior to known liquids. Learners drop liquids onto different surfaces and see how the liquids behave.
