Langston's Learners: Oobleck Recipe

Monday, March 7, 2011

Here is the Oobleck recipe. This is the one I use with the class. On the sheet that is sent home with students, the recipe is cut in half.

Oobleck

1 1/2 cups of warm water

16 oz white school glue

Green food coloring

Mix the above in a large bowl

1 cup of warm water

3 teaspoons borax

Mix the above in a small bowl

Pour the small bowl into the big bowl and gently stir together. Pour off any excess liquid.

Shannon Langston said...: I had enough for 22 large pieces. You can see the pieces the students are holding in the previous post. I have made the same recipe with 26 students. They just got smaller pieces. Hope that helps.; March 8, 2011 at 5:45 AM
