Marble Race Finding Viscosity Of Fluids

Viscosityis a measurement of a fluid s resistance to change or deformation or more simply put how thick it is.

Marble race finding viscosity of fluids.

In this project we will determine the viscosities of 5 separate liquids. Is the relationship between viscosity and velocity inverse or direct. Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid s resistance to change or deformation or more simply put how thick it is. A fluidcan be a gas or a liquid and it is easy to see that liquids are thicker than gases and therefore have higher viscosities.

Liquids that have a low viscosity flow quickly ie. There are several different ways scientists can measure the viscosity of a liquid. Test the viscosity of common liquids around your house and find out. Did the liquids with the lowest viscosities win the race.

One method is called a falling sphere viscometer in which you drop a sphere such as a marble through a tube filled with liquid. Of course some liquids are more viscous than others.

Plot the viscosity of each liquid on the y axis and the calculated average velocity on the x axis. Compare your viscosity test results with the marble race results. A fluid can be a gas or a liquid and it is easy to see that liquids are thicker than gases and therefore have higher viscosities. The liquids we will test are corn syrup honey vegetable oil milk and water.

Viscosity depends on the size and shape of the particles that make the liquid as well as the attraction between the particles. Share this science project. In this project you will learn a little bit about viscosity by holding a marble race.

Finding viscosity of fluids. Test the viscosity of common liquids around your house and find out. The different types of liquids we have tested with the marbles water cooking oil syrup honey glycerin liquid glue. Water rubbing alcohol and vegetable oil.

Honey corn syrup and molasses. Finding viscosity of fluids. Liquids that have a high viscosity flow slowly ie. We will find their viscosities by dropping a marble into.

Of course some liquids are. A fluid can be a gas or a liquid and it is easy to see that liquids are thicker than gases and therefore have higher viscosities. Of course some liquids are. Do they match up and make sense.
