Very strange liquids

The video explores the properties of liquids, focusing on Newtonian and non-Newtonian behaviors. Newtonian liquids flow and take the shape of their container, even when a force is applied. Non-Newtonian liquids, however, change their viscosity when a force is applied. Examples include cream, which thickens when whisked, and ketchup, which flows more easily when shaken. The video also demonstrates the fun and practical uses of non-Newtonian liquids, such as a cornstarch and water mixture that behaves like a solid when force is applied.

What characteristic do Newtonian liquids maintain even when a force is applied?

• They evaporate.

• They maintain their flow behavior.

• They become solid.

• They change color.

How does cream behave when it is whisked?

• It becomes more viscous.

• It becomes less viscous.

• It changes color.

• It evaporates.

Which of the following is an example of a non-Newtonian liquid?

• Milk

• Tomato ketchup

• Olive oil

• Water

What happens to a cornstarch and water mixture when a force is applied quickly?

• It changes color.

• It becomes hard like a solid.

• It becomes a gas.

• It remains a liquid.

What is a fun activity you can do with a non-Newtonian liquid like a cornstarch mixture?

• Paint a picture

• Run across it

• Cook it

• Freeze it
