I. Title
Determining How the Sugar Concentration in a Solution Affects its Viscosity
II. Objective
• Determine the relationship between sugar concentration and viscosity of a
solution
• Provide a method on how to measure the viscosity of a solution
III. Hypothesis
If there is higher amount of sugar in the solution then the viscosity of the water and
sugar solution will increase.
IV. Methodology
a) Set-ups
• Controlled Group: Solution D
• Experimental Groups: Solutions A, B, and C
b) Variables
• Independent Variables: Amount of Sugar
• Dependent Variables: Viscosity
• Constant Variables: Type of Sugar, Type of Water, Amount of Water in
each Beaker
c) Materials
• 650 mL of Regular Tap Water
• 150g of Brown Sugar
• 4 Glass Beakers
• 3 Graduated Cylinders
• 1 Glass Dropper
• 1 Plastic Ruler
• 1 Stopwatch
d) Procedures
In 4 beakers, the group poured 150 mL room temperature water. The researchers
labeled these beakers A,B,C,D; with beakers A,B, and C being the experimental group
and D being the controlled. They added 10 grams of sugar into beaker A, 20 grams of
sugar into beaker B, and 30 grams of sugar into beaker C. The group did not add
anything to Beaker D, so that they would be able to compare the viscosities of the
water-sugar solution. The contents of beakers A,B, and C were carefully stirred using a
plastic ruler. One of the researchers positioned their arm to shoulder’s level and let the
solutions drip onto the bottom of the sink. The group observed and timed how long each
solution from all beakers dripped onto the sink. The researchers recorded the results
and then formulated a conclusion.
