Have you ever turned a liquid into a solid just by tapping on it? Watch this fun video and learn how to conduct a viscosity experiment at home with a few simple steps! Click here to download a PDF of ...

Is pitch a liquid or a solid? It turns out that while it appears to be a solid at room temperature, it actually flows like a liquid ... a very, very viscous liquid. Why is this interesting? One of the ...

If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

Students will experiment with three different liquids to determine the relative viscosity and flow rate of each liquid. compare and measure the relative flow rates of different liquids. state that ...

NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke began working with the Fluid Merging Viscosity (FMVM) experiment. This physical science experiment is studying viscosity -- a property of fluids that causes them ...

“Oh yes, watching paint dry would be far, far more interesting,” says Andrew White, a quantum physicist at Australia’s University of Queensland and custodian of the world’s longest continually run — ...

Using data recovered from a damaged computer hard-drive that was aboard the ill-fated Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003, scientists have recently learned more about why the act of shaking a material can ...

Students will experiment with three different liquids to determine the relative viscosity and flow rate of each liquid. Mount Nyiragongo is a volcano in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 18 ...
