Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

Learners make kimchee or sauerkraut, which is really just fermented cabbage, in a 2-liter plastic bottle.

In this quick activity, learners use a toaster to investigate the source for the Earth's wind. Learners hold a pinwheel above a toaster to discover that rising heat causes wind.

In this activity, learners separate a mixture of pebbles, salt crystals, and wood pieces. They add water and pour the mixture through a strainer.

Learners investigate the properties of the liquids in two bottles. One contains layers of oil and water, and one contains oil, water, and soap.

In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.

As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

In this activity, learners will explore density and it's relationship with mass.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

Learners use a commercially available toy to experiment with density. They fill a chamber in the toy submarine with baking powder and release it into a tank of water.

In this activity, learners will create a drawing with dry erase markers and watch it come to life. Learners will explore chemistry, art and storytelling through this activity.

In this activity, learners will experiment with density and chemical reactions to create a flurry activity.

In this quick activity/demonstration about density, learners examine what happens when two cans of root beer--one diet and one regular--are placed in a large container of water.

In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density by pouring 5 different liquids into a jar. Food coloring is added if needed to give each liquid a distinct color.
