The Unmixables: Investigating Immiscible Liquids

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students build an understanding of the properties of liquids and research the immiscible properties of different milks through group experiments. In this immiscible liquids experiment, students investigate what happens when certain liquids combine and make an emulsion. This instructional activity enables the students to develop team-building skills, as well as gain knowledge of emulsions from hands-on experiments.
