Students understand what a habitat is. They determine why a habitat is important to our environment no matter where it is located. Students observe and recognize natural habitats in their surroundings.

For this density worksheet, high schoolers review how to calculate density and how to apply Archimedes' Principle, Boyle's Law, and Charles' Law. This worksheet has 10 matching, 13 short answer, and 6 fill in the blank questions.

Read about the many properties of liquids. Take an assessment when finished.

Students study the physical properties of different fluids and investigate the relationship between the viscosities of liquid and how fast they flow through a confined area. Student groups conduct a brief experiment in which they...

This site provides a detailed overview of viscosity, focusing on why viscosity is so important to learn and understand. Content includes the formula for determining the viscosity of a liquid, as well as a break-down of the viscosities of...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Properties of liquid matter.

How do you like your mashed potatoes? Thin and whipped smooth? Or thick and mashed into chunks? Your mouth checks out not just the taste of your food, but its viscosity, or how it flows on your tongue, every time you take a bite. In this...

Describes the changes in viscosity when various amounts of force are applied to a Non-Newtonian liquid. Gives the example of cornstarch paste.

This site provides extensive information on viscosity. Different formulas and examples are given with regards to viscosity.

Students explore the densities and viscosities of fluids as they create a colorful 'rainbow' using household liquids. While letting the fluids in the rainbow settle, students conduct 'The Great Viscosity Race,' another short experiment...

An experiment in viscosity using cornstarch and water. Includes a detailed explanation of viscosity, of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, and examples of different fluids that fit into each category.

Students calculate the viscosity of various household fluids by measuring the amount of time it takes marble or steel balls to fall given distances through the liquids. They experience what viscosity means, and also practice using...

This article from the Florida State University provides a basic definition of viscosity and it origin in liquids.

An investigation into what properties liquids have that enable them to sit in separate layers in a container.

To give students a feeling for both what viscosity values are and how they are measured in the lab, they measure fluid viscosity by dropping ball bearings into graduated cylinders of fluids.

At this site from the Nobel e-Museum, you can read about the scientific work of Lord Rayleigh (1842-1919 CE). This article includes information on his education and experiments with light and sound waves.

Activity 2 investigates Why is water different from other liquids? This activity will discover the properties of different liquids. Students will explore what makes honey gooey and thicker than water. And why some liquids evaporate...

This site provides a detailed overview of viscosity, focusing on why viscosity is so important to learn and understand. Content includes the formula for determining the viscosity of a liquid, as well as a break-down of the viscosities of...

While learning about volcanoes, magma and lava flows, students learn about the properties of liquid movement, coming to understand viscosity and other factors that increase and decrease liquid flow. They also learn about lava composition...

Students learn how volume, viscosity and slope are factors that affect the surface area that lava covers. Using clear transparency grids and liquid soap, students conduct experiments, make measurements and collect data. They also...

Learners are introduced to the similarities and differences in the behaviors of elastic solids and viscous fluids. Several types of fluid behaviors are described--Bingham plastic, Newtonian, shear thinning and shear thickening--along...

Describes viscosity and its relationship to Newtonian and Non-Newtonian liquids. Gives examples in terms of everyday substances.

Students learn why shock absorbers are necessary on vehicles, how they dampen the action of springs, and what factors determine the amount of dampening. They conduct an experiment to determine the effect of spring strength and port...

In this lesson, students simulate volcanic explosions using liquids of varying viscosity, and learn about volcano and earthquake zones around the world.
