Exploring How Liquids Behave
Source Institutions
Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.

The Liquid Rainbow
Source Institutions
Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

Exploring Liquids
Source Institutions
Young learners investigate and observe the properties of three liquids -- water, vegetable oil, and corn syrup. They use their senses to collect data and ask and answer questions.

Floating Dry Erase Creations
Source Institutions
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.

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

Big Things Come in Little Packages
Source Institutions
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.

Float Your Boat
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

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

Liquid Layers
Source Institutions
Experiment with liquids of different densities and create liquid layers. For example, oil and water have different densities: oil floats on water because it is less dense than water.

Make a Balance / Scale
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

Salt Crystal Garden
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.

Make a Salt Volcano (Lava Lite)
Source Institutions
This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

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

Sink or Float
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make predictions and experiment with different objects to see if they sink or float.
