  6. My predictions were right! You could also pick up the goo. When you picked up the goo and let it go will go, it will go runny!

    When you squeezed some in your hand it will go hard but, when you stop squishing the goo, it will fall out!

    When you ran your hands through the goo slowly it will stick to your body! And when you ran your hands through it very fast, it will feel like it is concrete! Kai H-R

  7. First 2 questions
    When you add water it becomes pretty thick and it is a solid and a liquid because it can feel like a solid and it can feel like a liquid.

    Next 2 questions

    My preditions were correct but I did not predict much and yes you could pick up the goo.

    Last 4 questions
    The goo was runny but at times it was stiff and when you squeezed it, it would runny again.If you tapped it slowly it waqs a liquid but if you did it fast it would act as a liquid.

  8. When I added water,it became a solid, when I added more water it became solid and liqiud.
    My pedictions was correct, it got more liquidish and when I added food colouring it spread out a little bit.
    When I tried to pick it up it just run down my fingers even though it was solid when I grabbed it.
    i could squeese it but it felt solid at first.
    Wen I ran my finger across it slowly it flet more liquid and when i ran my fingers across it it more hard I would end up flicking some off the plate

  11. When I added water it started going runny but when you try picking it goes hard. the goo was both solid and liquid because when you pick it up it is hard but if you you squeeze it, it will go runny. my predictions were half wrong half right because I predicted that it would be runny but didn't predict it would go hard. My goo was runny if you squeeze it or if you leave it to drop. I could squeeze it through my hands but it would make my hands dirty. When I ran my fingers through the goo slowly it stayed hard. When I ran my fingers through the goo quickly it went through it.

  13. 2. Goo is soild and liquid beause it depend on how you touch it.

    3.My prediction was sort of correct, but I didn't predict what was the goo like.

    6.and7. First it will be solid if you poke in it fast, but if you poke in it slowly it will be liquid.

  14. When i added glue it bacame really hard then gooy after a while.

    The goo was both solid and liquid but it also depands how long you leave it too.

    My predictions was not fully correct because I predicted it will turn gooy at the start but instead it was correct at the end.

    My goo wasn't very runny because i did accidently added to much water to the goo experiment. But at the end it was really runny.

    I couldn't sqeeze the goo because it was very runny.

    When i poked the goo really slowly my finger went though the glue.

    Then i poked the goo again but fast this time it wass solid because there was to much pressure.

  15. >When you add water it slowly turns into a solid, the cornflour started to stick together.
    >The goo was a solid and a liquid.
    >My predictions were correct, it did turn into goo with very little water.
    >My goo was not that runny when I tried to pick it up but it was, when I tightened my hands a bit.


    >I could squeeze some in my hand but that was in the start when we had not added that much water.
    >When I ran my fingers through it slowly it felt like a liquid it felt all watery.
    >When I ran my fingers through it quickly it felt like a solid, it felt really hard.

  18. When I added water with the cornflour it turned into a solid and a liquid.

    The goo was a solid when you punched it, but when you picked it up and it slid through your hands so it was a liquid too.

    My predictions were kind of right because I said that it will be slimy and sticky and it was a sticky.

    My goo was runny when I added too much water but if I did not it will not runny.

    You could squeeze the goo but it quickly ran out of your hands.

    When I ran my fingers through it slowly my finger went in but when I ran my fingers through it fast my finger did not go in.
