Lab 1 Solid, Liquid or Gas?

Solid, Liquid, or Gas?

Part 1

Directions:

In order to do this experiment you will need:

A paper towel cut in quarters (you'll only use two), shaving cream, and a penny.

1. Draw a picture of how your lab setup should look.

2. Place a small amount of shaving cream on a paper towel. Describe the properties of the shaving cream. Is it a solid, liquid, or a gas? Why do you think so? Write your responses in your lab journal.

3. Next, squirt a small amount of shaving cream on the other paper towel. Gently place a penny on top of it. What happens? Write your responses in your lab journal.

4. Rub some shaving cream between you thumb and index finger. How does it feel? Write down your response.

5. Let the shaving cream set out overnight. Did you notice any change? Examine the shaving cream blob with a magnifying glass. What does it look like? Write your responses in your lab journal.
