Spread out the newspaper on the work surface
	Obtain a large plastic bowl
	Measure and pour in 1 cup of dry cornstarch
	Add one drop of food coloring (if you wish)
	Slowly add 1/2 cup of water
	Use your fingers to mix until all the powder is wet
	Keep adding water until the "Ookey Oozey" feels like a liquid

Now, try tapping on the surface with your finger or the back of a plastic spoon. When you have your "Ookey Oozey" made correctly, it won't splash. It will feel solid. If your "Ookey Oozey" is too powdery, add a little more water. If "Ookey Oozey" feels too wet, add cornstarch.

	Pick up a handful. Is it easy or hard?
	Next, squeeze it. What happens?
	Stop squeezing. What happens?
	Slowly lower your fingers on the surface of the "Ookey Oozey"
	Let your fingers rest on the surface
	Slowly sink your fingers into the "Ookey Oozey"
	Now, try to quickly pull your fingers out. What happens?
	Next, take a blob in your hands, roll it between your hands and try to make a ball. What happens when you stop rolling it?

Please do not take "Ookey Oozey" home or out of the lab. Dispose of the product in a big sink using plenty of running water.  Enjoy.
