Chemistry Chapter Report for Amazing Kitchen Chemistry Projects You Can Build Yourself

by Cynthia Light Brown

Chapter Name: Liquids

1. List any glossary words and definitions.
   

   Pascal's principle: when a liquid or gas is pushed by a force, it transmits the force to all parts of the fluid
   

   Density: the amount of matter in a given space or mass divided by volume
   

Volume: the amount of space occupied by something

Displace: to move or take the place of

Mass: the amount of matter or "stuff" in something is very close to its weight

 

1. List 5 facts/details you learned from the chapter.
   
   1. When a liquid is pushed on by a force, the pressure from that force is the same throughout the liquid. This law is called Pascal's Principle, and it also applies to gases
      
   2. Eureka, means I've found it!
      

      
       

   3. "blood is thicker than water" means that family is important but its true because blood is a thicker substance than water
      

   
    

   1. Liquids change color when you mix different substances in the liquid: learned during experiment
      

   
    

   1. Oil is less dense than water and floats on top
      

   
    

   
    

   
    

   
    

   1. Summarize the chapter in at least 5 sentences.
      

   
    

This chapter is all about liquids and teaches about the density of the solids and floating and more! Ben Franklin experimented with oil and found out that it is less dense than water. Pascal experimented with liquids and found out that the force in a liquid or gas transmits the force into all parts of the liquid. There are four different experiments about liquids in this chapter. But we did the root beer experiment which I will write about later.

 

 

 

 

1. What did you learn?
   

 

I learned more about Ben Franklin and Pascal and Archimedes. They were all inventor's that discovered something about liquids. I also learned about the density and how it has to do with liquids. As we all know the heavier and more dense an object is it floats to the bottom and I learned why.
