Laboratory
Virtual Experiment: Viscosity Explorer

Viscosity Explorer
The Viscosity Explorer lets you see how viscosity varies from liquid to liquid and how temperature affects viscosity. You can
  • compare two different liquids with each other
  • test the same liquid at two different temperatures

Click on the picture to begin.

Also try the hands-on experiments: Viscosity of Liquids, Viscosity of Liquids II, the Viscosity and Temperature, Viscosity and Temperature II and look at Digging Deeper to learn more about viscosity.

Viscosity Explorer(Virtual Experiment)

Try this interactive exeriment to see how viscosity varies from liquid to liquid and how temperature affects viscosity.

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 of Liquids II

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.

Viscosity and Temperature II

Temperature affects the viscosity of most liquids. This experiment focuses on the viscosity of shampoo in a bottle as it is heated and cooled.
