Hi, what do you want to do?
Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
Serc: Rainbow Challenge Lab
In this inquiry lab activity, students will attempt to layer 6 different kinds of soda pops in a large test tube using their knowledge of density and other physical properties of liquids.
Science and Mathematics Initiative for Learning Enhancement (SMILE)
Smile: Comparing Densities of Different Liquids
This lab experiment has students observe and compare the density of five different liquids while measuring mass and volume.
Science is Fun
Science Fun: Layered Liquids
This experiment allows you to dramatically demonstrate the different densities of five different common household liquids.

Teach Engineering: Density & Miscibility
After students conduct the two associated activities, Density Column Lab - Parts 1 and 2, present this instructional activity to provide them with an understanding of why the density column's oil, water and syrup layers do not mix and...
Chemistry Collective
Chem Collective: Measuring the Heat Capacity of an Engine Coolant Ii
Measure and compare the heat capacity of an unknown liquid with an unknown density.

Lapeer County Schools Science Resources: Density Lab
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.
Science and Mathematics Initiative for Learning Enhancement (SMILE)
Smile: Comparing Liquid Density
Because different liquids have different properties, density also differs. In this activity from the Illinois Institute of Technology, students will calculate densities of water, dish-washing detergent, cooking oil, and other liquids.

The Science House: Daffy Densities
In this lab experiment, students will use 4 solids and 6 liquids to create colorful, layered rows demonstrating that less dense materials will float on top of the more dense materials.
