The Unmixables: Investigating Immiscible Liquids
Students build an understanding of the properties of liquids and research the immiscible properties of different milks through group experiments. In this immiscible liquids experiment, students investigate what happens when certain...

Immiscible Liquids and Density
Students will make a lava lamp. In this density lesson, students will combine water and oil and make observations, then add salt to the oil and observe the oil sink, then float again when the salt dissolves in the water.

Density Column Lab - Part 2
Groups suspend objects within layers of liquids to determine the densities of different liquids and compare them to the densities of objects calculated in Part 1. The groups then carefully test their calculations by layering the liquids...

The Nature Of Dissolving Processes
Young scholars examine the rule of "like dissolves like." They define and describe solutions and solubility models on molecular liquids, ionic solids, and molecular solids.

Making Mayonnaise - An Edible Emulsion
Students find a way to mix oil and water. In this emulsion lesson, students attempt to mix oil and water, then add egg yolk to the mixture to serve as an emulsifier and observe the results.
Curated OER
Through Thick or Thin!!!
Young scholars differentiate between high and low viscosity. Students collect, graph, and interpret data, then quantitatively measure polymer solids. Young scholars experiment with a household example of an emulsion polymer.
Curated OER
Ocean in a Bottle
Young scholars investigate pollution in water. In this pollution lesson, students participate in an experiment to simulate water pollution. Young scholars observe how the water reacts to the "pollution."
