Description | ||
This science fair project was conducted to find out how the temperature of a fluid affects its viscosity. The testing was done by measuring the viscosity of water, milk and corn oil using a measurement cup at different temperatures. | ||

1. For this experiment, the independent variable is the type of fluid used (water, milk and corn oil) and temperature. The dependent variable is the viscosity of the fluid. This is determined by using a measuring cup and a stopwatch to measure the flow rate. The constants (control variables) are the size of the hole in the cup and the volume of the cup. 2. An electric drill is used to make a small hole at the bottom of one of the two metal cups. 3. The water is kept at 20°C. The assistant will hold the cup with ..... |
