Fun With Density

The document outlines a fun experiment to demonstrate the concept of density using various liquids such as honey, vegetable oil, and milk. It provides a step-by-step method for layering these liquids in a glass to visualize how different densities affect their arrangement. The experiment encourages creativity and exploration of density by suggesting the floating of small objects on the different liquid layers.

Fun with Density

You Will Need

• Milk • Food colourings


• Water • Golden syrup
• A Glass • Washing up liquid
* Please dispose of oil safely and responsibly.
Density is a really tough concept to grasp. We confuse ourselves by referring
to our weight all the time when we really mean our mass. Mass is effectively
‘how much stuff’ is there. Density is how much mass is in a volume (or space).
One way to illustrate density is to pour different liquids
(which have different densities) on top of each other. The
liquids with the greatest density sink to the bottom.

Method
1 Measure out the same volume of each of the liquids.
Colour the water and the milk if you wish.

2 Starting from the bottom, pour in the honey. Make


sure it goes into the middle of the glass and that you
don’t get any honey on the sides.

3 Slowly pour the golden syrup on top, followed by the


washing up liquid.

4 Then add the milk, followed by the water.

5 Finally top with vegetable oil and admire your rainbow glass!
