This document describes an activity to determine the viscosity of different liquids by measuring the time it takes for them to flow from one point to another. The liquids tested are water, cooking oil, syrup, and honey. The results show honey has the highest viscosity, taking the longest time to flow, while water has the lowest viscosity and flows the fastest. Viscosity is explained as the thickness or stickiness of a liquid due to friction between its molecules. Some types of lava flow faster than others depending on factors like temperature, chemical composition, and gas content that determine its viscosity.

honey Guide Questions Q12: Is your prediction correct?
✘ Our prediction is correct. The
honey reached the amount of time to reach the tray most and the water, on the other hand, took the least amount of time. Q13: Which liquid is the most viscous? How do you know?
✘ Honey is considered the most
viscous fluid among the three. It is because of the hydrogen bonds between the sugar and the water if the honey that makes it more viscous. Q14: Which liquid is the least viscous?
✘ The water is the least viscous.
Q15: Explain viscosity in your own words.
✘ Viscosity is the state of being
sticky due to friction. It is the thickness of a certain liquid. Q16: Compare how these liquids flow with how you think lava flows. Why do some types of lava travel faster than others?
✘ The lava flows on the Earth’ s surface
with low viscosity like honey. Some types of lava flow faster than the others because of factors affecting its magma temperature, chemical composition and amount of gas it contains. If it has high temperature, low silica content and more amount of gases, then it is less viscous which is easy to flow. Q17: Compare the movement of the liquid as the bubbles move on the surface.
