Salt 'n Lighter
Source Institutions
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.

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

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

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

Dancing Spaghetti
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

Eyedropper Hydrometer: Buoy your understanding of density
Source Institutions
Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

Color Splash
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix water, cooking oil, and liquid food coloring to create beautiful colored designs in a cup. Use this activity to explore liquid density and solubility.

Cauldron Bubbles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix up a bubbly brew and examine density. Learners explore how they can make different materials fall and rise in water using oil, water, and salt.

Physics in the Kitchen: Sink or Swim Soda
Source Institutions
In the kitchen, learners can perform their own density investigation.

Heavy Air
Source Institutions
In this activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate visually and physically that air has weight. Learners balance two equally-inflated balloons hanging from string on a yard stick.
