Marble Density Race In Different Liquids For Kids

Timing the marble works best when using liquids that have a high viscosity ie.

Marble density race in different liquids for kids.

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. Race your marbles to discover a liquid s viscosity which liquid has the highest viscosity. The pouring test when you are finished dropping the marbles into the jars try pouring the liquids one at a time into another jar. In this project we will determine the viscosities of 5 separate liquids.

Preparing your glasses for the marble race. 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. Repeat the experiment 2 more times for each liquid so there is enough data to take an average. To explore this concept we decided to test the density of some household liquids using something kids love density marble race.

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. A kitchen science project by science buddies. The distance is the height of the liquid and the time will be the average time calculated in step 6. Average time time 1 time 2 time 3 3.

With liquid density it can be equated to thickness of the liquid in it s simplest form. 27 99 32 99 26. Calculate the average velocity of the marble through the liquid. You will notice this.

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. Different liquids have different viscosities which means some liquids flow more easily than others. Viscosity races making science fun for kids says. To do this density marble race experiment you will need.

The liquids we will test are corn syrup honey vegetable oil milk and water. The thicker the liquid the more dense it is. Battop marble run building blocks construction toys set puzzle race track for kids 97 pieces. Honey corn syrup and molasses.

Fill each glass with a different test liquid all the way up to the 2 cm mark. We will find their viscosities by dropping a marble into. Gifts2u marble run sets kids 122 pcs marble race track game 90 translucent marbulous pieces 32 glass marbles stem marble maze building blocks kids 4 year old 4 5 out of 5 stars 287.
