Title
Cornstarch and Music

Broad Question
Does music affect Cornstarch?

Specific Question
Do different genres of music (i.e rock, pop, country) affect the displacement and/or properties of cornstarch when mixed with water?

Hypothesis
I think that it will cause an effect with heavier genres and ones with lower bass or beats because of higher decibels.

Experimental Design
(add the correct headings from the experimental design page before beginning)

Results
Cornstarch mixed with water creates a very weird substance that when left alone, retains a solid form however when brought into contact with a new object such as a hand, it takes on a liquid form and retains back to a solid in a minute or so. Playing different genres of music over loudspeakers at the same volume level had no effect on this substance whatsoever.

Benefit to Community and/or Science
This substance and ones similar to it may not be affected by sound.
