Passion Time

At Enrich today we did our very first Passion Time. Passion Time runs from 11:00am to 12:30pm. I chose to do science experiments. Izzy, Briana and Anais did it with me. The first experiment we did was called corny goo. Its like oopleck. First of all we needed 2 tablespoons of corn flour and 1 tablespoon of water. Then we mixed it. Throughout the mixing process we added a wee bit more water. Soon enough it was quite thick and creamy. We tried to pick it up and it was all sticky! We decided to put it in the microwave for 5 seconds. That did nothing. It only made it warmer. Since it was quite runny we tried adding more cornflour. We were trying to find out that if you squeezed the gooey stuff in your hand it would turn solid because you are squeezing all of the water out. When we threw it up into the air it turned into something like cookie dough. This was because it was filling up with air and getting more solid. Unfortunately we didn't want it to turn into cookie dough, so we added more water. Then we wondered what would happen if we put it into the microwave for 15 seconds. It turned a dark yellow and looked like rotten jelly! It was really fun making it and I can't wait to make something else next time!
