Corn starch and water form a colloid when mixed. When this non-Newtonian fluid is placed above a Sine Wave driver (thanks Pasco Scientific!) some interesting things happen. Explorit's new exhibition, Take Matter Into Your Own Hands, delves into the different states of matter and investigates the properties of various materials. Come see this experiment in person June 5 - August 29, 2010.
Way cool!
