A simple lab experiment for students to find the density of two solids and a liquid (does not use water displacement). Note that number 1d should not state "weighs" since mass is being found.

This experiment allows you to dramatically demonstrate the different densities of five different common household liquids.

Because different liquids have different properties, density also differs. For this lesson from the Illinois Institute of Technology, students will calculate densities of water, dish-washing detergent, cooking oil, and other liquids.

This colorful demonstration illustrates the rule, "likes dissolve likes," by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a density column." Teacher notes provide background information.
