Homework Assignment: Put different liquids on different surfaces and observe the outcomes and record the data.
Materials: I used three different surfaces: Cardboard, Styrofoam, and Glass. I used four different liquids: Water, Syrup, Soap, and Hot Wax.
Hypothesis: The water will soak into the cardboard and form a bubble on top of the Styrofoam and glass. The syrup,soap, and hot wax will soak into the cardboard a little, spread out on the Styrofoam, and form a bubble on top of the glass. Another effect the hot wax will have is that it will harden.
Observations/Procedure: I analyzed the assignment and choose the three different surfaces and four different liquids. I choose those surfaces and liquids because I was curious about the effects the liquids would have on the surfaces. I poured a small amount of each liquid onto the different surfaces and measured the widths of each one. I found that the water spread and soaked into the cardboard. On the Styrofoam the water spread out a little bit but stayed in a bubble formation. On top of the glass the water stayed in a perfect bubble formation and had the smallest width. The syrup was a thicker liquid and spread out more than the water did but on all surfaces it stayed in a bubble form.The soap stayed in a perfect bubble form on the cardboard. It spread out on the Styrofoam and on the glass it stayed in a bubble form. The hot wax hardened the fastest to the card board and glass. On the Styrofoam the hot wax spread out a little before it hardened.

Water (width) | Syrup (width) | Soap (width) | Hot Wax (width) | |
Cardboard | 4.8 cm | .5 cm | 4.5cm | 2.3 cm |
Styrofoam | 1.2 cm | 2.1 cm | 1.2 cm | 2.4 cm |
Glass | .8 cm | 2.6 cm | .8 cm | 1.9 cm |
Conclusion:
My hypothesis was accurate although syrup spreading out more on the glass and cardboard was unexpected. Also, the fact that the hot wax spread out more on the Styrofoam before hardening.Overall, my predictions were mostly accurate and I enjoyed doing this experiment.
