The experiment demonstrated that liquid marbles elasticity gained through the liquid meniscus formed between the shell s particles allows a compression up to 30 from the drop s initial dimension.
Liquid marbles experiment.
Now ask them for their hypothesis for which marble will take the longest to sink the bottom.
Repeat the experiment up to this step starting from preparing the graduated cylinder to measure the viscosity of each liquid for each of the remaining test liquids.
If you kept all of your marbles and containers clean throughout the experiment and avoided cross contamination of liquids you may be able to store them for regular use.
Now it s time to race.
Ask the kids to each take a marble and hold it over the opening of one of the liquids.
Explain that for this experiment we are going to do a marble race and drop marbles into each of the liquids.
In our experiment the marbles took longer to sink when dropped into the jars filled with corn syrup and honey than they did when dropped into the jars filled with water and cooking oil.
It is assumed that liquid marbles.
If you want to save and reuse the liquids you use from the activity make sure you thoroughly wash your marbles and drinking glasses with soap and water then dry them completely.
The jelly marbles become invisible due to an identical index of refraction with the liquid.
As you ll see there s more to this experiment than meets the eye.
