As I'm sure Mr. Google would have been happy to tell you, oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid of the dilatant (shear thickening) type, made from 1 part water and 1.25 parts (corn)starch. Being a liquid when at rest, the mixture acts increasingly like a solid the stronger one agitates it.
The name is derived from the sticky green slime featuring in "Bartholomew and the Oobleck", a 1949 book by Dr. Seuss.
Fare thee well.

I think "the more strongly" would have been the correct adverbial comparison. Kindly excuse my English being at second language level.

"What's an "oobleck?" Apparently the dictionary doesn't know what it is either."
