Various liquids (e.g., water, oil, honey, dish soap).
Clear containers or jars.
Food coloring (optional).
Density observation sheets.
Clipboards and pencils..Introduction (5 minutes):
Discuss the concept of density and how it affects the layering of liquids.
Explain that they will be creating layers with different liquids.
Preparation (5 minutes):
Provide each student with various liquids, clear containers, and food coloring (optional).
Explain how to use the observation sheet to record their findings.
Experiment (20 minutes):
Allow students to carefully pour each liquid into the container to create layers, observing how the liquids of different densities layer on top of each other.
Encourage them to use food coloring to differentiate the layers.
Guide them in recording their observations on the density observation sheets.
Sharing and Discussion (10 minutes):
Allow students to share their findings with the class.
Discuss how density affects the layering of liquids and the practical applications of density (e.g., oil spills).
Reinforce the concept of density.
Reflection (5 minutes):
Ask students to share one new thing they learned about density.
Reinforce the importance of understanding liquid properties in daily life.
