For this starch power experiment, you will need only three things to make it work; some water, a bowl and cornstarch.

The first step is to put some cornstarch in the bowl.

The second and last step is to put water in the bowl with cornstarch and mix it together.

To make sure the experiment worked, when the cornstarch is mixed with the water it will turn solid.  And this will happen because the water will get trapped in the molecules of the starch, thus making this solution firm.

Let’s make experiments and grow our knowledge and talent!
