Investigation: Cornstarch Mixture
Description
This easy experiment uses household items to explore different states of matter and the change in states of matter as they mix water and cornstarch.
Materials
- Provide tools or gloves to explore cornstarch with if children don’t want to touch with their hands.
- Do on a tray or outside to minimize messes.
Instruction
- Provide hand-under-hand support for mixing as tolerated/needed
- Provide visuals of properties of liquids and solids as well as of the states of matter themselves for children to use for comparison and to communicate their ideas and findings.
- Label properties of solids and liquids as children explore.
