This month's cover is “Oobleck on a Speaker” by Darren Seaney at Glenbard West HS (teacher: Bruce Medic) in Glen Ellyn, IL, one of the winners of the 2017 91ߣɫ High School Physics Photo Contest. Oobleck is a mixture of cornstarch and water (and sometimes food coloring) that is endlessly entertaining because you can slowly dip your toe into it, like in any liquid, but if you punch it, it turns as solid as the floor.
