Volcano Flow Rate
Project #770 on iSENSEProject.org
Description
Hypothesis 1: If the lava is thinner, it will flow faster. (When lava flows over rocks and such, it gets thicker and flows slower, but if those rocks are filled with water, the lava gets thicker, making it flow faster.)
Hypothesis 2: If the slope of the volcano is steeper, than the faster the lava will flow.
| Materials for Liquid (variable) | Hight of Angle (Control) | Time of flow from top to bottom (dependant Variable) | Thicknes Level (dependant Variable) |
| Vegetable Oil | 3.5 inches | 3.5 seconds | normal |
| Vegetable Oil & Flower | 3.5 inches | 12.17 seconds | thicker |
| Vegetable Oil & Water | 3.5 inches | 0.57 seconds | thinner |
| Materials for Liquid (variable) | Hight of Angle (Control) | Time of flow from top to bottom (dependant Variable) | Speed |
| Corn Syrup | 1.75 inches | 3.02 minutes (average) | Faster |
| Corn Syrup | 3.5 inches | 3.15 minutes (average) | Slower |
