Liquid Duality Booklet 05

Liquid Density Layering liquids with different densities while using common house hold liquids. This is achieved by pouring the heaviest liquid into the glass first, and then the next heaviest and so forth. When pouring it in the right order some of the liquids don’t mix because they would repeal each other, while others resist mixing because they are thick.

Liquid Duality Experiment No 7

Experiment Info Liquids all have different ingredients, which have different densities. So when put in the right order they will repeal other liquids and create layers.

What was interesting is when putting liquids together they will mix unless your mixing oil and water which then separates them. We don’t need art supplies to create a piece of art or use it for colors, but can use common house materials and items.

These liquids are listed from most-dense to least dense, so this is the order in which to pour into the jar.

step 1 Take your glass container and divide it into five sections and mark it on the side with a marker, since there is 5 different liquids to layer. Pour the most heaviest liquid first, which is the honey and make sure that it is being poured right into the center. *Don’t let the honey touch the sides of the glass. Since it is thick it will stick to the side of the glass. step 2 Next, slowly add the liquid dish washing soap.
