Is it a solid? Is it a liquid?
Both and neither. Confused? This type of matter almost drove Newton crazy! When a
sudden, strong force is applied, the putty acts like a solid. But exert slow
even pressure and the putty displays liquid properties. You can roll it, bounce
it, mould it, stretch it, snap it, cut it, or even shatter it with a hammer!
Naughty Putty comes in a plastic egg container. Colours
vary.
Age: 6 +
What
you get
Plastic
egg (Height 50mm, Width 30mm) containing 15 grams of putty and 2 googly eyes in a zip lock bag.
Safe and non toxic.
How
does it work?
Putty
is a weird kind of matter that doesn’t fit neatly into the three common states
of matter: solid, liquid and gas. It can change shape like a liquid. But punch
it fast and it feels hard like a solid. So what is it!? Because it doesn’t
follow Newton’s
laws, putty belongs in a broad group called non-Newtonian matter. Other examples
of strange non-Newtonian matter are jelly, blood, toothpaste, ink and glue.
Putty can be further classified as a sheer-thickening fluid because it gets
thicker when pressure is applied. A classic too, in 1949 it was selling faster
than any other toy in history!

- Non-newtonian matter and why this weird type of matter doesn’t fit into the three common states.
- Inorganic polymers: polymers that have silicon or phosphorous backbones instead of carbon.
FAQ
Putty
can bounce high, pull it slowly and it stretches, but pull it quickly and it
snaps off. Mould putty and the creations you can make are only limited to your
imagination!
