Flubber Science

Kailyn was working with a tray of flubber. She used a metal fork to scrap the surface. She worked with intent, watching the effect of the fork as she scraped it across the entire surface. Then she took the rolling pin and began flattening it. She took a small circle and began twisting it on the top of the flubber. She explained, "I turn and turn and turn."
Tamara asked, "Does it go all the way down to the tray?"
"No it just is twisty," Kailyn explained.

Flubber provides endless opportunities for exploring the physical properties of a very compelling material. Kailyn spent more than 20 minutes exploring the ways she could manipulate it, using tools in inventive ways, and experimenting with cause and effect.
