quicksand

You get a bowl and pour some water and corn flour and mix until all of the flour is mixed. Put your hand into it and pick it up and it feels all slimey but turns out to be all powdery. Hope you have fun with this awesome experiment!!! :)

Editor's note: the more stress you put this mixture under, the harder it gets. You can pummel it until it's solid, pick it up and it will then melt in your hand. A classic experiment, thanks Caitlin.
