Liquids - Results Tables

The investigation into the viscosity of different liquids is presented in a structured results table format. This table is designed to record the time, in seconds, that each liquid takes to flow or pass a certain point, which is a measure of its viscosity. The liquids under examination include water, vegetable oil, washing-up liquid, shampoo, and salt water. The table is divided into columns, with the first column listing the types of liquids being tested, followed by three columns labelled 'Time (s)' which represent three separate trials or measurements for each liquid to ensure accuracy and consistency in the results.

By comparing the times recorded across the three trials for each liquid, one can determine the relative viscosity of each substance. A shorter time would indicate a lower viscosity, meaning the liquid flows more freely, whereas a longer time suggests a higher viscosity, implying the liquid is thicker and flows more slowly. This data collection method provides a clear and comparative means to analyse the viscosity of various common liquids, which can be an important property in both scientific studies and everyday applications.
