Wonderful, Glorious Goop

In science class, we had an experiment about the states of matter. On the lab tables, there were beakers filled with "slime" (corn starch mixed with water). We had to find out what state of matter it was: solid, liquid, or gas. My group thought that it was a trick question: that it wasn't a solid, liquid or gas. We thought it was an amorphous solid, which is a solid that will hold it's shape when moving, but will turn to liquid when it stops moving. We later found out that our guess was correct.
