DIY STEM Project For Kids: Viscosity Experiment

Jesse introduces a Valentine's Day science experiment focused on viscosity, explaining it as the thickness of a liquid. The experiment involves testing six different liquids—water, acrylic paint, hair conditioner, baby gel oil, hand sanitizer, and hand soap—by observing how Perler beads behave in each. Jesse encourages viewers to hypothesize and observe the results, noting the varying viscosities. The video concludes with an encouragement to try the experiment with other household liquids.

What is viscosity and how does it relate to the thickness of liquids?

What was the outcome of the experiment with plain water and the Perler beads?

How did the white acrylic paint compare to the other liquids in terms of viscosity?

What were the six different types of liquids tested in the experiment?

What conclusion can be drawn about the different types of liquids and their viscosities based on the experiment?
