That's so cool. We play with cornstarch and water at our daycare - the kids love it. It would be so fun to have a huge tub of it like you had on the show.
Keep up the cool stuff, we really enjoy it.

I LOVED the corn starch demo! I work with students at an elementary science lab and we make this mixture(oobleck) on a small scale to illustrate liquid and solid properties. I am hoping to be able to show this video to my students.

This was done at the end of an episode, this last season of "NUMBERS". But I learned more on your show---I'd love to play in/with that sloppy mess anyday!!!

Hi! Ellen,

You have the best show on tv. Have Steve Spangler on more often, he is great and what fun to watch.

Thank you,
Kimberly

Hi, my name is Nadia. My little sister wants you to read this:

Hey Ellen,
My name is Sofia, im 15 years old and I live in Montreal Canada. I love your show, I watch it every single day, during summer time because when I have school I dont get to watch you. They should totally do a class where we watch The Ellen Degeneres Show. I would get A's FOR SURE!
Annyways that's not why im writing to you, im actually writing cause my birthday is coming up pretty soon ( August 14) and I have a wish, a HUGE wish. It's like a dream.
And since im having my Sweet 16, I would love my dream to come true. My wish is to meet The Jonas Brothers. Im sure your like "Poor little girl...COME ON!"
But its my dream, It'll mean the world to me just to see them. Im their biggest fan, i know all of their songs, i know everything about them. Im litteraly obsesed!
I did my best to try to meet them, now i need a miracle and YOU are my miracle,Ellen.
Do you remember your Sweet 16? (Im not saying that your old or something, your still in a great shape!!)
Please Ellen, would you help a young lady to live her dream and meet her heroes?
It'll really mean THE WORLD to me!
Thank you again!

Sofiia.

Could there be any possible medical benefits derived from the electricity demonstration (having the current traveling thru a person's skin). That demonstration immediately turned on a light bulb (no pun intended) for me, as I have suffered with fibromyalgia for over 15 years. I would be willing to be in that study!

i did this in fourth grade and we called it oblic it was so much fun i wish i could have ran through that pit i love the ellen show!!!!

why are we all talking about the bible?
im pretty sure cornstarch and water has nothing to do with christ.

Posted by brianna | July 10, 2008 8:07 AM

For all you bible touting trolls:

If the bible is the Word of God or inspired by God, yet written by Man, and Man is inherently flawed, doesn't that also imply that the Bible is flawed as well?

We did this in vacation bible school to show kids how Jesus walked on the water. Cool stuff. kids loved it.
