Girlstart is competing to win $10,000 to help inspire girls in STEM, and we need your help! Girlstart has been decorating this rodeo sized hat for Reliant’s “Hats off to Houston Art Contest” held at Rodeo Houston!
Help us soar to the lead! Head on over to this post and give us a like. The Girlstart community thanks you!
Observe how the properties of water turn cornstarch into an imitation of quicksand in this activity. Only cornstarch and water are needed to make an interesting mixture that is actually considered a ‘suspension’ because the cornstarch is finely distributed within the water. Play around with the suspension to see how it reacts to slaps, pokes, or being stirred with a spoon. Be sure to clean up after – this quicksand can get messy!

The Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field, and this field creates the North and South Poles of the Earth. Just like the Earth, magnets also have north and south poles. Once you magnetize your needle, your compass north and south sides will align with the magnetic north and south poles of the Earth. Using the Earth’s magnetic shield, your homemade compass will surely point you North!
