How liquids flow

The term for this is viscosity. We used the data from our lab on Friday and applied the concept of viscosity to lava. Be sure to review your notes on properties of magma.

Having a hard time remembering viscosity? Remember this:

• Hallway packed with students (hard to walk through) - high viscosity (liquid doesn't move as freely)
• Hallway with only a few students (easy to walk through) - low viscosity (liquid moves feely)

Homework tonight: Create a list of 10 liquids. Order them from highest viscosity to lowest viscosity.

Reminder:

• 3 MOS logs due Friday
• Quiz Wednesday on volcanoes, viscosity and type of volcanoes
