Marble Density Race In Different Liquids For Kids

With liquid density it can be equated to thickness of the liquid in it s simplest form.

Marble density race in different liquids for kids.

July 1 2013 at 1 23 pm done a viscosity race before but this time i wanted to do it on a bigger scale and really get the kids. The thicker the liquid the more dense it is. Fill each glass with a different test liquid all the way up to the 2 cm mark. Calculate the average time.

We will find their viscosities by dropping a marble into. Average time time 1 time 2 time 3 3. In this week s chemistry themed family science activity families explore viscosity a property of liquids that is a measure of the friction inside the liquid. Have a helper hold two marbles level with the tops of two glasses.

Measure down about 2 cm from the top of each glass with the ruler and mark the 2 cm location with the water soluble marker. You will notice this. To explore this concept we decided to test the density of some household liquids using something kids love density marble race. The liquids we will test are corn syrup honey vegetable oil milk and water.

Race your marbles to discover a liquid s viscosity which liquid has the highest viscosity. Different liquids have different viscosities which means some liquids flow more easily than others. Repeat the experiment 2 more times for each liquid so there is enough data to take an average. Timing the marble works best when using liquids that have a high viscosity ie.

Viscosity races making science fun for kids says. Honey corn syrup and molasses. Battop marble run building blocks construction toys set puzzle race track for kids 97 pieces. Calculate the average velocity of the marble through the liquid.

27 99 32 99 26. The distance is the height of the liquid and the time will be the average time calculated in step 6. Preparing your glasses for the marble race. When honey is cold it may be very slow to flow because its viscosity is high there is more friction within the liquid that is slowing it down.

A kitchen science project by science buddies. In this project we will determine the viscosities of 5 separate liquids. To do this density marble race experiment you will need.
