Class Response 3.1

In Treasurer's science class, we had a chance to do a lab. And when I say lab, I mean an experiment. In this experiment we needed to find out the viscosity of four different liquids. Viscosity is a liquid's resistance. It's what makes the liquid runny or some what still. I presume you know what a liquid is. If not, then you need to look it up in a dictionary. Don't worry, this post will still be here while you're looking up the word.Now, how would we find out which liquid is the runniest. Well we will race the liquids on a slanted piece of space. Which ever hits the bottom is the fastest and has the least amount of viscosity. Whichever is the slowest will have the most viscosity. We tested ketchup, honey, maple syrup and milk. Guess which ones the fastest? If you said milk, then I have to say I'm sorry, but you're right. Which one's the slowest. It's the ketchup. But, I think this is good. If we changed the viscosity of ketchup, it might gives us a soggy burger.
