Explain that for this experiment we are going to do a marble race and drop marbles into each of the liquids.
Liquid marbles experiment.
Repeat the experiment up to this step starting from preparing the graduated cylinder to measure the viscosity of each liquid for each of the remaining test liquids.
The jelly marbles become invisible due to an identical index of refraction with the liquid.
The experiment demonstrated that liquid marbles elasticity gained through the liquid meniscus formed between the shell s particles allows a compression up to 30 from the drop s initial dimension.
As you ll see there s more to this experiment than meets the eye.
If you kept all of your marbles and containers clean throughout the experiment and avoided cross contamination of liquids you may be able to store them for regular use.
Now it s time to race.
It is assumed that liquid marbles.
Liquid marble s progressive deformation determined by increasing compression forces.
Now ask them for their hypothesis for which marble will take the longest to sink the bottom.
The more viscous or thick a liquid is the longer it will take for an object to move through the liquid.
Ask the kids to each take a marble and hold it over the opening of one of the liquids.
