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

Students determine whether a liquid will sink or float in water by comparing its density to the density of water.

Of course it can, you say: ice is water and ice floats. And you're right. But we're talking about water in the liquid phase Can liquid water float on water? The goal of this project is to investigate what happens to layers of water with...

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.

Investigate the science behind this age old question. Find out the role density and polarity play in the liquids.

Learn how the molecular movement in different temperature water affects the density of the liquid.

Demonstrate the effect that dissolving different amounts of salt in water has on the density of the liquid.
