Plasticisty

A couple of weeks ago (I think), our class did a lab on plasticisty using cornstarch and water. After mixing both substances together, you we created an amorphis solid wich means it's niether a solid or a liquid. Once you scoop a clump of the new substance, it feels cold and if you sqeeze it, it feels like a solid however, if you give it a few moments and let it rest in your hand it will start to melt. sooner or later, it will be dripping off of your hand and you will have a mess to clean up. Yay. Well... although it was fun to play with the corn starch water, I think what our teacher was trying to teach us didn't really get across beside the fact that the substance we made and the mantle both have plasticisty. Oh well, better than book work!
