Viscosity is a liquid’s resistance to flowing. The question answered in this experiment is: how does the consistency of a liquid impact how long it will take for a marble to sink in a jar of that liquid? A unique property of liquids is something called viscosity. Watch the Viscosity of Liquids Science Experiment Step by Step Instructions How Does the Science Experiment Work? Viscosity of Liquids Science Experiment Video Tutorial It also contains ideas on how you can expand on the experiment.
Was your hypothesis correct? Do you know why some marbles sink to the bottom of the jar quickly and some marbles sink to the bottle of the jar slowly?įind out the answer in the how does this experiment work section below. You’ll notice right away that the marble behaves differently in each jar. Drop one marble at a time and observe what happens to the marble when it enters the liquid. Step 2 – Carefully drop one marble into each jar.
