Assumes the shape of the container which it occupies Is not easily compressible (little free space between particles) Flows easily (the particles can move/slide past one another.)
 * A liquid: **

Has a fixed volume and shape(the particles are locked into place) Is not easily compressible (little free space between particles) Does not flow easily (the particles cannot move/slide past one another)
 * A solid: **

Therefore Oobleck is. . . ?
