👻Get ready for spooky science fun! This hands‑on experiment invites students to explore viscosity by mixing cornstarch and water to create “ghost guts” — a goo that acts like both a liquid and a solid. It’s the perfect October activity for building curiosity, language, and sensory engagement.

💬 Core Words Focus

Students practice the words all, some, put, and on throughout the experiment. They’ll use these words to describe what they see, make predictions, and talk about changes as they mix and squeeze the goo.

🧪 What’s Included

• Step‑by‑step visual directions
• Teacher modeling ideas for AAC and verbal prompts
• Student hypothesis page (“What do you think will happen when we put cornstarch and water together?”)
• Reflection page (“What happened when we put pressure on the ghost guts?”)
• Realistic photo‑style visuals for engagement
• Kid‑friendly explanations of liquids, solids, and non‑Newtonian fluids

🎯 Learning Targets

• Explore scientific properties of matter
• Build descriptive language and prediction skills
• Practice AAC core words in context
• Strengthen fine‑motor and sensory participation

🍂 Perfect For

• Fall science centers
• AAC‑friendly classrooms
• Speech‑language sessions
• Inclusive learning environments
