Millennium Plain, Norwich, NR2 1TF
Can you run across a pool of Oobleck and beat the World Record? This non-Newtonian fluid behaves like a solid if a strong force is acted upon it. Left alone, Oobleck will behave like a liquid - if you go too slow, you may sink down into this gooey mixture of cornstarch and water!
Mark Thompson will be guiding the World Record attempt, and members of the audience will get a chance to take on the challenge.
Participants in the world record attempt must be over 16, but all ages are welcome to come along and watch, and cheer on our record breakers!
Free, drop-in
Participants must be 16+
