This project I wanted to work with Cymatics; which means the study of visible vibration and sound. For this project I worked with Cornstarch and water put on top of a speaker with music playing and pay attention to the patterns and organic shapes that emerge.

Project Plan
For this project I will need the following materials
A waterproof Speaker
A Guitar amplifier
Wire Stripper
Crocodile Clips
Speaker Wires
A Tone Generator
Amplifier Wire
This project is working with Cymatics, which means the study of visible sound and visible vibration. By transmitting sound waves through any sort of medium, we are able to see different patterns emerging. If you mix cornflour and water (Oobleck), you obtain a non-Newtonian fluid. A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid whose fluid properties change with the pressure applied. It basically changes its state according to pressure. For example, if compressed, the fluid acts as a solid. But it acts as a liquid if something light weight is dropped onto it. It's viscosity also depends on the force applied to the liquid or how fast an object is moving through the liquid. Not all non-Newtonian Fluids behave in the same way when stress is applied -- some become more solid, others more fluid. Some non-Newtonian fluids react as a result of the amount of stress applied, while others react as a result of the length of time that stress is applied.
