How Fluid Can Climb Upward! SLIME EXPERIMENT

In this Physics Girl video, the host explores the Weissenberg effect using slime, a non-newtonian fluid. The video explains how the effect causes the fluid to climb a spinning rod due to its viscoelastic properties. The host provides a recipe for making slime and encourages viewers to experiment with different variables to observe changes in the effect. The video is both educational and entertaining, with a focus on hands-on learning and scientific exploration.
