A pool filled with non-newtonian fluid! Very interesting. . .

I'm surprised this is new to a lot of you... I made this stuff in middle school.

Middle schools these days are focusing on passing a test rather than learning about science. . .

That, and doing projects like this would involve actually getting involved and really doing something. I had one class where we just used the books for the whole class. We did the experiments right out of the book, did work in the workbook, and took a standardized test. No real learning required.
The teacher sat there and did nothing unless someone had a question.
