How
does it work?
Use slime as an
illustration of a Non-Newtonian Fluid. It behaves differently when different
forces are applied. A fast hard force and it acts a little like a soild: when
gently poured it behaves more like a liquid and stretches easily. Matter that
can’t be classified into Newton’s common solid, liquid or gas groups is
an example of Non-Newtonian matter. Slime is also an example of a substance made
of long cross-linked polymer chains.
