Viscosity Explorer

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

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.

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