So one of my ideas mentioned in the pervious post was the thickness of liquids. I was thinking that I could conduct this experiment in two ways. I either use water as a base, and then add materials to the water, for example sugar or cornflour, to see if the dripping rate has changed. In doing this, I would measure how much liquid has dripped into a measuring cup over a period of, say, 10 seconds. This would indicate the thickness, as the thicker a liquid gets, the less it would drip, therefore have a smaller final amount of liquid in the measuring cup after the 10 seconds.
I also had this other idea where I used different liquids, instead of just water with additives but still testing the thickness of the liquids. For example, I might use honey, fruit nectar, etc...
In order to conduct this experiment, I'd need to use a funnel, with a very small hole so that the liquid doesn't all pour out at the same time, a measuring cup to catch the drops of liquid, and a timer. The thickness of each liquid would be measured one at a time, so I can ensure reliable results by using the same funnel each time. I would also use the same amount of liquid for each test, and the same amount of additives if I was to do the experiment with water as a base.
