Exploring Liquid Properties: A Comparative Science Lab

Viscosity

A measure of how thick or thin a liquid is, affecting how easily it flows.

Density

The mass per unit volume of a substance, determining whether it will float or sink.

Surface Tension

The force that causes the surface of a liquid to contract, allowing it to support light objects.

Comparative experiments

Experiments where different properties are compared to see how they differ.

Labeling

The practice of marking containers in experiments to identify the contents.

Observation

The act of watching and noting the details of an experiment.

Layering technique

A method of pouring liquids slowly to observe how they interact based on density.

Physical characteristics of liquids

Attributes that describe the state and behavior of liquids, such as viscosity and density.

Lab notebook

A book used to record observations, results, and analyses of experiments.

Conducting experiments

The process of carrying out a scientific procedure to test hypotheses.
