Introduction

Density is basically how much “stuff” is packed into a particular


volume. It’s a comparison between an object’s mass and its volume.
Remember the all-important equation: density = mass ÷ volume.
Based on this equation, if the weight (or mass) of something
increases but the volume stays the same, then density goes up.
Likewise, if the mass decreases but the volume stays the same, then
density goes down. Lighter liquids (like water or vegetable oil) are
less dense than heavier liquids (like honey or corn syrup) so they
float on top of the heavier liquids. The same amount of two different
liquids you used in the container will have different densities because
they have different masses. The liquids that weigh more (a higher
density) will sink below the liquids that weigh less (a lower density).

II. Materials

 Honey (1.45 g/ml)


 Cornstarch with water (1.30 g/ml)
 Dishwashing liquid (1.03 g/ml)
 Water (1.00 g/ml)
 Fabric Conditioner (0.98 g/ml)
 Coconut Oil (0.92 g/ml)
 Baby Oil (0.80 g/ml)

III. Procedure

Step 1. Pour varied amounts of each liquid in the cups (depending on


how you would want them to be visible). You may want to set the
cups in the order you’ll add them into the container: honey, corn
starch, dishwashing liquid, water, fabric conditioner, coconut oil and
baby oil. Add food coloring to the water so that it stands out in the
finished column.

Step 2. Start your column by placing the honey into the transparent
tumbler through a syringe and a straw. It’s very important to slowly
layer the honey into the center of the cylinder. Take your time. Also,
make sure they don’t touch the sides of the cylinder as you pour. It’s
okay if the liquids mix a little as you are pouring. The layers will slowly
even themselves out because of their varying densities.

Step 3. Then, layer the other liquids (cornstarch, dishwashing liquid,


water, fabric conditioner, coconut oil and baby oil) Again, don’t let the
liquids touch the sides of the container and add them s-l-o-w-l-y and
carefully, a dribble at a time. Allow the layers to settle and separate
even more before moving on to the next step.

IV. Hypothesis

If a substance has a higher density than the other, then the


substance will sink. If the substance has a lower density than the
other then it will float. Therefore, the honey will be the last, next is the
cornstarch, dishwashing liquid, water, fabric conditioner, coconut oil
and on top is the baby oil.

V. Conclusion

This experiment tells us what the ingredients are made of. In


the experiment the materials pile to each other without mixing and
collapsing and it created a rainbow like combination of colors. The
honey sinks into the bottom which has the highest density followed by
cornstarch, dishwashing liquid, water, fabric conditioner, coconut oil
and on top is the baby oil with the lowest density. Each of materials in
the experiment have their own corresponding density and was strictly
followed. In our experiment, we concluded that density can be applied
in our lives, like it can check if an egg is fresh (sinks) or already old
(floats).
