Learning about Liquids

In science, we have been exploring liquids. We observed seven different liquids in bottles to find out their properties. We tried tipping, shaking, rolling, and spinning the bottles. Here are the vocabulary words we have been using:

       *  Transparent – you can see light and images through it

       * Translucent – you can see light through it, but not clear images

       *  Bubbly – bubbles stay in it for a while, especially if you shake it

       * Foamy – bubbles stay on the top for a while

       *  Viscous – thick, moves slowly

rolling bottles of liquid

Do bottles of different liquids roll differently?

Is it bubbly or foamy?

Does it make a tornado?

We also experimented to discover that:
* Liquid falls to the lowest part of a container, no matter which way you tip the container
* The top of the liquid forms a line level with the ground
* The same amount of liquid can look VERY different, depending on the container you put it in
