Oobleck

Students explore "matter." In this literacy and three states of matter lesson plan, students listen to Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss, then work in groups to explore "oobleck" (cornstarch and water mixture) with their five senses. Students make a list of the properties of oobleck they discover and share it with the class. Students design, draw, and write a written description of a probe that could land on the moon to discover oobleck.
