General Physics Science Fair Project

Sweetened Water Viscosity

Hard
Sweetened Water Viscosity | Science Fair Projects | STEM Projects
We'll investigate how the amount of sugar added to water affects its viscosity. We'll measure the time it takes for the water to flow out of a cup with a hole in the bottom.

Hypothesis

The hypothesis is that the viscosity of water will increase when more sugar is added to the water.

Method & Materials

You will create a small hole in a metal cup, measure out 200ml of distilled water into 5 beakers, add different amounts of sugar to each beaker, mix the solution, and measure the time it takes for the water to flow out of the cup.
You will need a metal cup, an electric drill with a small drill bit, 1000ml distilled water, 300 grams of sugar, a measurement cylinder, a digital weighing scale, 5 beakers, a stopwatch, a spatula, and a black marker pen.

Results

The results showed that as the concentration of sugar in the water increased, the viscosity of the solution and the time taken for it to flow out of the cup also increased.

Why do this project?

This science project is interesting because it explores the effects of adding sugar to water and how it affects the viscosity of the solution.

Also Consider

Consider repeating this science project by adding other substances like salt or milk powder. You could also repeat the experiment using a different sized hole in the metal cup.
