3. Repeat step two more times to make three trials.

Record the marble’s travel time in

each trial.
Laboratory activity: 1 4. Remove the marble and the water from the cylinder and dry both of them.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 4 and use pancake syrup instead of water.
DO AND SEE THE ST
6. Wash and dry the cylinder and the marble.
OBJECTIVE: To observe surface tension in water. 7. Repeat 1 and 4 and use cooking oil.
8. Wash and dry the cylinder and the marble.
MATERIALS: a 25 centavo coin, a medicine dropper, water, a piece of tissue and a 2x2
piece of wax paper. QUESTIONS:

PROCEDURE: 1. In which did the marble take a longest time to reach the bottom?
2. How would you rank the liquids in order of decreasing viscosity?
A 3. What explanation can you give for the observed viscosities?
1. Place the clean, dry coin float on the table over a piece of dry tissue paper.
2. With dropper, carefully put water on the coin, adding little by little until it reaches
the maximum amount that the coin’s surface can hold without spilling. Laboratory activity 3
QUESTIONS:
CAPILLARY ACTION IN COLORS!
1. Describe the shape of the water on top of the coin.
2. What property of the liquid is shown? Why? OBJECTIVE: To model capillary action using paper towels and water.
B MATERIALS: 3 empty short glasses, 2 cups water, 2 colors of food coloring, such as
1. Place two to three drops of water on the piece of wax paper. yellow and blue, 2 paper towels.
QUESTIONS:
1. Describe the shape of the drops. PROCEDURE:
2. What explanation can you give for the shape of water drops?
1. First, fill two glasses with 1 cup water each.
Laboratory activity 2 2. Next, add 4 drops of one color, of food coloring to one glass and 4 drops of the
other food coloring to the other glass. This will help you observe the capillary
VISCOSITY OF LIQUID action easier.
3. Now fold each of your paper towels vertically in half twice, so you have two long,
OBJECTIVE: To compare the viscosity of three liquids. skinny paper towels.
4. Put one end in the colored water and one end in the empty glass.
To determine the viscosity of sample liquids.
5. Repeat step 4, for the other paper towel and colored water.
MATERIALS: Clean and dry marble, a 25 ml graduated cylinder, timer, water, cooking 6. Watch the glasses and see what happens.
oil and pancake syrup.
PROCEDURE: QUESTIONS:

A. 1. Describe what happen in the paper towel and water.

1. Fill the graduated cylinder with water up to 20 ml. 2. What property of liquid shown? Why?
2. Drop the marble into the water. Use a timer to record the time it takes for the marble
to reach the bottom.
