Walking on Water from early in the morning to later in the evening

I have seen a swimming pool filled with ooblek on YouTube and on Steve Spangler, but I have never tried it myself. Since there is no clear formula for mixing it, I was a little nervous about it. But I had already committed with my students. (In the summer my landlord had someone leave a wading pool - I asked for it so we could do our walk on water experiment in chemistry).

I had done a rough calculation of how many boxes we needed and had students bring two boxes each. Then I worked out a deal with Wal-mart to get the rest. I had about 160 boxes on hand.

At first we tried mixing a small sample in a five gallon bucket - fail. It was extremely difficult to get it out. Then we decided to just start filling the wading pool with a water hose - dumping in several boxes of ooblek and mixing it by hand.

Ms. Trussell let me borrow several of her students and I drafted two of mine from study hall and we were on our way. After over an hour we had about half of the pool filled.

I had to teach second period physics so I left it with Lexie and Feria to finish.

Right before second period was over, they came smiling to my room and said it was ready.

We tested it before my four chemistry classes came.
Wow.

I told my students I would give ten dollars to the person with the best video. Game on: Here are four of the entries (vote in the comment section by 1, 2, 3, or 4:

And then came my eighth period:

Izzie's mom

Ms. Holmes

And then there was open house and parent's night. I told the parents it was a homework pass if they walked on water

And a Quiz 100 for their child if they stood in the ooblek and sank.

Adrianne's mom

And let us not forget, our leader can walk on water too. (Not pictured to keep up the mystic)!
