  1. Foundations of Physical Science Workshop: Viscosity of Fluids

  2. Viscosity of Fluids CPO Science

  3. What is viscosity? How can viscosity be measured? How does a molecule’s shape and size affect viscosity? How does an increase in temperature affect viscosity? Key Questions

  4. Define viscosity Build a viscometer Measure viscosity of various liquids Overview

  5. A measure of a material’s resistance to flow What is Viscosity? • Which substance here has a higher viscosity? • How can it be measured?

  6. Uses timer and photogates to measure speed of object moving through a liquid Indicates the liquid’s resistance to flow Viscometer

  7. After setting up Viscometer run three trials using 10 cm for the distance traveled by the marble through the fluid Use velocity from the three trials to get the average velocity of the marble Repeat this process for each of the 5 substances Average Velocity

  8. Compare average velocities – What will differences in these values indicate about each substance? What does a high velocity mean? What does a low velocity mean? Rank the fluids from least to most viscous Which Liquid is LEAST Viscous?

  9. Compare the viscosity rankings list with the density ranking list Is there a relationship? What do these two terms actually measure? They seem to be loosely related, but there must be more to the story What about Viscosity vs. Density??

  10. Size and viscosity • Which molecule would be easier to pour from a bottle? • Which would experience more friction? • How does that affect viscosity?
