Non Newtonian fluids! By Katie Rose Lloyd
2
What is a Newtonian fluid? Discovered by Sir Isaac Newton. It’s a fluid which obeys the laws of physics, which are –Takes on the shape of it’s container immediately. –Responds the same whether moved fast or slow.
3
What is a non Newtonian fluid? Non-Newtonian fluids do not obey the laws of physics, as laid down by Newton. They have some properties of both a solid and a liquid. The fluids do not immediately take on the shape of their container.
4
Every day non Newtonian fluids! Examples of the everyday non- Newtonian fluids are: - ketchup - hair mousse - paint - toothpaste - whipped cream - custard - treacle - Fluff
5
Uses for non Newtonian fluids! Scientists are investigating ways to make body armour for police out of non Newtonian fluids. So that its comfortable to wear but strong enough to resist a bullet or blade. They have found that 4 layers of a silicon non Newtonian fluid is the equivalent to 14 layers of Kevlar.
6
Make your own non Newtonian fluid! 120g corn flour 60ml Water newspaper mixing bowl food colouring 1.Put the newspaper on the table and bowl on top. Add your food colouring to the water. 2.Put all your corn flour in the bowl and add the water slowly. 3.Once you have the right consistency just play with your slime mixture!

Question 1 Who discovered Newtonian fluids? Sir Isaac Newton!
10
Question 2 Are there any practical uses for non Newtonian fluids? Not at the moment but it will soon made into body protection for police officers!
11
Question 3 When moved quickly does a non Newtonian fluid act as a liquid or solid? A solid!
