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

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.

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