Have you ever turned a liquid into a solid just by tapping on it? Watch this fun video and learn how to conduct a viscosity experiment at home with a few simple steps! Click here to download a PDF of ...

Students will experiment with three different liquids to determine the relative viscosity and flow rate of each liquid. Mount Nyiragongo is a volcano in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 18 ...

If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke began working with the Fluid Merging Viscosity (FMVM) experiment. This physical science experiment is studying viscosity -- a property of fluids that causes them ...

What if a material that looks solid could actually flow… over nearly a century? Launched in 1927 by an Australian professor to illustrate viscosity, an experiment of disarming simplicity has become a ...

It took seven decades, but the pitch has finally been caught in the act. Since 1944, physicists at Trinity College in Dublin have been trying to measure the viscosity of pitch tar, a polymer seemingly ...
