Simply put, viscosity is the measure of a fluid’s thickness or its resistance to deformation or change. Fluids can either be liquid or gas. A type of force called stress can cause viscosity, which is the outcome of friction among fluid molecules moving around at various speeds. What you need: • Water • A tall…
The term hydroponics stands for the technique of cultivating plants in a nutrient solution rather than in soil. It’s a novel technique of growing plants in water which contains dissolved nutrients.

How do Temperature and Wind affect Evaporation? Clouds form in low pressure zones because as hot air rises it carries moisture with it. This moisture is called water vapor and as it cools it forms droplets of water that join together and cause clouds. Most of the water vapor comes from water…
Demonstration of How Osmosis Works Osmosis is a process in which different concentrations of solutions move through semi-permeable membranes. The transfer occurs from the highest concentration to the lowest. Osmotic pressure is a term used to explain the force with which the molecules transfer from the solution of higher concentration into the solution of…
