In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

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 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.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

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

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.

In this activity about humans and space travel (page 1 of PDF), learners compare and contrast the behavior of a water-filled plastic bag, both outside and inside of a container of water.

In this quick activity, learners observe how salinity and temperature affect the density of water, to better understand the Great Ocean Conveyor.

In this chemistry activity, learners explore density by using four solids and 6 liquids to create colorful, layered rows.

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

Learners add different liquids (water, salt water, alcohol, and detergent solution) to water and observe the different ways the different liquids combine with water.

In this activity, learners observe as soap bubbles float on a cushion of carbon dioxide gas. Learners blow bubbles into an aquarium filled with a slab of dry ice.

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 watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.
