A great way to study the properities of liquids and solids is to use oobleck. Use the science explore site (Outrageous Ooze) and the corresponding youtube video for a spectacular lesson!
Outrageous Ooze lesson.
Video- watch as people run across a ton of oobleck :) I showed this to parents at Curriculum Night and they thought it was so cool!
That is so cool!!! I saw this experiment on an episode of Mythbusters too. The myth was "Can a person walk on water?" The answer was "yes" if it is oozy water.
