When dropping a marble into a 100ml graduated cylinder filled with different liquids, Which liquid will cause the marble to drop the slowest. My hypothesis was, " If I test the viscosity of different liquids by dropping a marble, then molasses will have the most viscosity." In the end, my hypothesis was incorrect. Honey came out to have the highest viscosity by a long shot. The average of Honey was one minute and sixty-nine seconds and the other liquids were below the thirty second range. After dropping a marble in honey, molasses, corn syrup, canola oil, whole milk, and water, the answers were clear. The order in the highest viscosity to lowest was honey, corn syrup, molasses, canola oil, whole milk, and water. I infer that air bubbles came into an effect during my experiment. I first observed in honey that the first trial contained a bunch of air bubbles. As the second and third trials came, the faster the marble dropped. In conclusion, my hypothesis was incorrect. I guess the phrase, "slower than molasses," should now be ,"slower than honey." I still learned a lot about the viscosity of liquids in my experiment.
