CURRICULUR STATEMENT
To make an understanding about the topic Capillarity through
discussion, experiments, observation and to asses them
through group discussion and rising questions.
CONTENT ANALYSIS
NEW TERMS
Capillarity
Capillarity rise
Capillarity depression
FACTS
Solid substances have fixed shape and volume
Liquid substances does not have fixed shape but have a
fixed volume.
Gaseous substances do not have affixed shape and
volume.
Cohesion is the force of attraction between similar
molecules.
Adhesion is the force of attraction between molecules of
different substances.
All substances at any state have weight.
The capacity of a liquid to rise up even against the force
of gravity is known as capillarity.
Capillary rise is based on the adhesive force.
Capillary depression is based on the cohesive force.
Capillarity is based on surface tension.
When the diameter of the capillary tube increases the
capillary rise decreases.
Certain liquid show capillary lowering.
CONCEPTS
Capillarity
Capillary rise
Capillary depression
DEFINITIONS
Capillarity
The capacity of liquid to rise up even against the force of
gravity is known as Capillarity.
Capillary rise
The upward movement of a liquid against the force of gravity
inside narrow spaces and thin tubes is called Capillary rise.
This property of liquid is called Capillarity.
Capillary depression
Liquids like Mercury which have high cohesive force show
capillary fall inside such glass tubes.

Classroom interaction procedure Expected pupil
response
The teacher enters the class and
makes friendly talk with the students.
After that an introduction is set for
the beginning of the study.
Have you seen a fountain pen?

Do you all use fountain pen?

Have you noticed thin tubes attached
to the nibs of certain fountain pens?

With such pens can you write even on
a paper pasted to a wall, with the nib
held upward? How does the ink move
upward in such pens?

Can you tell its reason?
Should not the ink flow downwards
because of its weight.




Yes

Yes


Yes









We will study its reason. It is closely
related to gravitational force. Let us
start with some experiments.

PRESENTATION
Students are divided into groups for
learning activities.

ACTIVITY -1
Take colored water in a beaker. Dip a
glass capillary tube into the water.


DISCUSSSION POINTS

What is your observation?

What is its reason?

Which is the force which keeps

















Water rises up through
the glass tube










the water raised?

GENERALIZATION
Here water rises up through the glass
tube by capillary force. The reason for
this is capillarity.

ACTIVITY-2
Take two clean and dry glass slides.
Place them together and lower them
into a vessel containing water mixed
with a little ink.

DISCUSSION POINTS
Does the water move upward
between the slides?

What is its reason?

GENERALIZATION
Here the water rise up in between the
slides by the phenomenon capillarity
Capillarity is a capacity of liquid to rise
up even against the force of gravity.

ACTIVITY-3
Take a thin capillary tube. Dip the
vertically in a vessel containing water.
Compare water levels in the vessel as





















Yes







well as in the capillary tube.


DISCUSSION POINTS
What is your observation?



What is its reason?

GENERALIZATION
The phenomenon here observed is
known as capillarity. In this the liquid
on the capillary tube rises above that
in the vessel.
The capillary rise of a liquid is due to

















The liquid level in the
capillary tube rises
above that in the
vessel.








the adhesive force.
ACTIVITY-4
Dip a capillary tube in a vessel
containing Mercury. What change do
you observe in the tube

DISCUSSION POINTS
Have any change in the liquid
What change do you observe in the
Mercury level?


What is the reason?

GENERALIZATION
The adhesive force between Mercury
and glass is less than the cohesive
force between Mercury molecules. A
capillary depression occurs in such
liquids with greater cohesive force.









Yes




The mercury level in
the glass tube slow
down below that in the
vessel.






After the activities teacher displays the chart showing
definitions of capillarity, capillary raise and capillary
depression.
CAPILLARITY
The capacity of a liquid to rise up even against the force of
gravity is known as capillarity.
Egg: Water rises up through cracks in the plastering of walls
Water rises up through capillary tubes.
CAPILLARY RISE
The upward movement of a liquid against the force of gravity
inside narrow spaces and thin tubes is called capillary rise.
CAPILLARY FALL
Liquids like Mercury which have high cohesive force show
capillary fall inside such glass tube.
