Middle School Chemistry: Density: Sink and Float for Liquids
Students determine whether a liquid will sink or float in water by comparing its density to the density of water.
Mocomi & Anibrain Digital Technologies
Mocomi: Why Oil and Water Don't Mix
Investigate the science behind this age old question. Find out the role density and polarity play in the liquids.
American Chemical Society
Middle School Chemistry: Density of Water
Discover how the molecular make-up of water affects its density.
American Chemical Society
Middle School Chemistry: Temperature and Density
Learn how the molecular movement in different temperature water affects the density of the liquid.
PBS
Pbs Teachers: Water Density
Demonstrate the effect that dissolving different amounts of salt in water has on the density of the liquid.
Exploratorium
Exploratorium: Salt Volcano
By making oil float on water--with the help of other ingredients--students can create a lava-lite effect.
