To do this experiment you'll need:
Some plain custard powder
Water

Pic: custard in a bowl.
Step 1
Put some custard powder into a bowl.
Step 2
Mix
it with water while stirring until it feels weird; you鈥檒l know what I mean when you feel it! Try running a spoon handle through the custard mixture.
Step 3
The
spoon should leave a clean cut groove that swiftly fills with liquid custard again. Or try sticking your finger in - the custard should stick to your finger!
Pic: rolling the custard.
Step 4
Pick
some of the custard mixture up and roll it into a ball between your hands. It feels slimy! If it is not mixed properly, you won't be able to do this.
Step 5
Keep moving it - what happens if you stop? If you keep rolling it the custard forms a solid-like ball, but as soon as you stop...

..it runs away like a liquid. Yes, it is messy, but don't panic. When the mix dries out you can just brush the powder out.
