Moon Sand

We are exploring this concept of solids and liquids.  A solid has its own shape and a liquid takes the shape of the container its in.  But what happens when you combine solids and liquids.  Today we made Moon Sand!  We started with a solid - flour and we added a liquid - baby oil.  The interesting thing is that the properties of the flour changed as we added baby oil.  In the end, we had a solid - sand that was a different color than the flour and a different consistency.
 (Plus it smelled very good!)
