1. • Answer! The peanut butter doesn’t flow as
much as the ketchup so it has a higher
viscosity.

4. -Nice neat notes that are legible and use indentations
when appropriate.
-Example of indent.
-Skip a line between topics
-Don’t skip pages
-Make visuals clear and well drawn.

5. • RED SLIDE: These are notes that are very
important and should be recorded in your

59. • Questions?
– Which substance had the highest viscosity
and why?
– Answer: Answers will vary based on the
brand. Generally, the
ketchup, mustard, and jelly was the slowest
down the ramp and demonstrated most
resistance to flow.

61. • Questions?
– Which substance had the lowest viscosity
and why?
– Answer: The real maple syrup had the
lowest viscosity and traveled quickly down
the ramp on to the floor almost immediately
after putting it on the ramp.
