Mini Workshop: Sensory Bottles
Rheoscopic fluids were a well known technique to study fluid dynamics in physics. They are used by geologists to study interactions between solid surfaces and running water, they are used by aerospace engineers to study the flow of air around wings. But, computer programmes have driven this art to the recesses of history. However, the art can be seen in sensory bottles. This mini workshop is one that can be used in a small group to show students how to make a sensory bottle they can take home or
