Explore What properties cause liquids
to form layers?
Materials
What to Do
Pour in each liquid in
the order they are listed
in the materials section.
Observe that the liquids
form layers.
Gently drop in a small
paper clip. Watch until
it stops sinking. Next,
drop in a piece of
Styrofoam.
Wait until
it stops. Then drop in a
piece of rubber band.
