Viscosity of Liquids
Different liquids have different properties. One of these properties is viscosity, the liquid’s resistance to flowing. Water, milk, and fruit juice are comparatively thin and flow more easily than thicker, more viscous liquids such as honey, corn syrup, shampoo, or liquid soap.
 
Viscosity and Temperature
Temperature affects the viscosity of most liquids. This experiment focuses on the viscosity of shampoo in a bottle as it is heated and cooled.
