Solids, Liquids and Gases

Today Zoe and her two whanau groups tricked us all. They had been talking about the difference between solids, liquids and gases and how water can be in all three states.
They made a mixture of half a cup of cornflour and a quarter of a cup of water. They mixed this together and squeezed it into a solid ball. Something exciting happened when the kids passed the ball to a partner and they held it on their flat hands.
You could try this experiment at home and see what happens!
