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.

Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.

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

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.

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

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 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 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.

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 explore density and it's relationship with mass.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.
