Newton stated that the viscosity (thickness or ability to flow) of a fluid can only change with a change in temperature. The mixture we\u2019ve made doesn\u2019t follow that law, so it\u2019s called a Non-Newtonian fluid.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1659 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/nogginbuilders.com\/NBWP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0179-2-e1420691564971.jpg\" alt=\"Oobleck Ball\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>What can you do with it?<\/h4>\n<p>If you place your finger in the mixture slowly, it will sink though.
