Procedure:
Spoon out some water and turn the spoon sideways. Almost all
of the water quickly flows off the spoon. Try the same thing
with honey. The honey moves very slowly, doesn't it?
Explanation:
Honey has a much greater viscosity than water. Viscosity is a
measure of how strongly the molecules in a particular fluid
stick together. Its easy to see that the honey molecules want
to stay together more than the water molecules do.
