What is viscosity? Viscosity is the state of being thick, sticky, and semi-fluid in consistency, due to internal friction.

First thing to do is to gather your equipment and put 1 cup of water, beans, moisturiser, syrup, oil and sweet chilli sauce into a cup or something that is visible form the outside that can hold them.

The results show that baked beans, sweet chilli sauce and moisturiser have the most viscosity. A factor of this could be that the baked beans have solid objects in them.

The oil and water had the least viscosity and the ball just sank to the bottom in both of them
