As you pour ooze into another container, try and cut it with a pair of scissors. You have just made a non-Newtonian fluid. In the 1700s, Isaac Newton described the properties of ideal fluids. He said an ideal fluid would have a constant viscosity, or resistance to flow, at a given temperature. Your experiments proved that your ooze is a non-Newtonian fluid because it has the properties of both a liquid and a solid and reacts to stress with increased viscosity.
Quicksand is another non-Newtonian fluid.
Here's another quick and easy science experiment. All you need is a glass of clear soda, such as ginger ale or club soda, and several small raisins. Fill a glass with soda. Drop the raisins in. The irregular surface of the raisins enables a lot of CO 2 to accumulate.
