State of Matter of an Unknown Material
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This activity is used to introduce the different properties of states of matter, by testing an unknown substance with household materials to determine which state of matter most closely resembles the material. It also can invole data collection, reasoning, grph making, and presentation of findings.

0.0 stars

Students are introduced to the similarities and differences in the behaviors of elastic solids and viscous fluids. Several types of fluid behaviors are described Bingham plastic, Newtonian, shear thinning and shear thickening along with their respective shear stress vs. rate of shearing strain diagrams. In addition, fluid material properties such as viscosity are introduced, along with the methods that engineers use to determine those physical properties.
