Exploring Absorbency with Olive Oil

Emma from Kohl Children's Museum guides viewers through a home experiment on absorbency using household materials like card stock, olive oil, and water. The video explains how to prepare the materials, conduct the experiment by dipping treated and untreated paper in water, and encourages viewers to observe and question the differences. The tutorial concludes with suggestions for further observation and a farewell.

What is the main focus of the experiment introduced by Emma?

• Exploring the boiling point of water

• Exploring the viscosity of olive oil

• Exploring absorbency using household materials

• Exploring the density of liquids

Which of the following is NOT listed as a required material for the experiment?

• Food coloring

• Card stock

• Olive oil

• Clear cups

What is the first step in preparing the materials for the experiment?

• Pouring water into cups

• Mixing water and olive oil

• Cutting card stock into strips

• Coating paper with olive oil

How should the card stock be coated with olive oil?

• Only at the edges

• On both sides, leaving space at the top

• Only on one side

• On the top half only

What is the purpose of filling the cups with water?

• To observe the absorbency of the card stock

• To measure the water level

• To mix with olive oil

• To clean the card stock

What should you do after dipping the card stock in water?

• Throw the card stock away

• Add more olive oil to the water

• Dry the card stock immediately

• Observe and note any changes

What is one of the questions suggested to consider during the experiment?

• How long does it take for the water to evaporate?

• What is the boiling point of olive oil?

• What happens to the paper with and without olive oil?

• How does the olive oil change color?

What should you observe about the water in the two cups?

• The water level

• The color of the water

• The difference in appearance between the two cups

• The temperature of the water

What can you do with the card stock after the experiment?

• Throw it away

• Leave it out to observe long-term effects

• Use it for another experiment

• Paint it with watercolors
