There's this little mini project called Time and Space where we look at average things in a different way, such as taking a close up of the moon or taking a time lapse of people walking in and out of class. What Juan and I decided to do was pop a balloon and take a slow motion shot of it popping with water inside of it. After, Juan thought it would be cool if we did it with oobleck inside, so we tried that as well.
With water, the video obviously turned out well. Before we did it, I predicted that the water would initially hold it's shape as a circle more or less, and eventually spread out. In the end, it turns out I was right. With the oobleck, I thought that once I popped the balloon, the oobleck itself would maintain it shape for a second or so before it all collapsed. However, it didn't work at all. We couldn't even get the balloon to pop. I think this happened because the balloon still had air in it with the oobleck, and the balloon itself wasn't filled very much, it was still very small. Even if we got a big enough balloon filled with oobleck, I don't think it would pop because the rapid force of us prodding the balloon wouldn't affect the oobleck, since oobleck turns solid when acted upon harshly.
