Layered Drink

For my mini project I have made a density column.You will see how an objects density affects where it stays in the glass, and doesn't mix with the other liquids.

This is the list of liquids i used while making this experiment
1. syrup
2. dish wash soap
3. water
4. vegetable oil
note: you don't need to stop at these 4 liquids you can add others!!!

First off I took the syrup and poured it in the center of the cup, you probably want to pour the syrup in the center of the cup because it is sticky and if it hits the sides your layers wont come out as neat.Next i added the dish washing soap you have to becarefull when pouring the next liquids because you don't want to pour it in the center because it might crack the layer of the liquid and cause the two liquids to mix.Then i added the rest of my liquids in the same cautious process.

Cautions:

• don't mix the liquids while pouring
• pour slowly
• don't bump the glass
• if you use water you may want to dye it with color

Science:

This project shows you how the object with the heaviest density (mass per unit volume) goes to the bottom of the glass and the less heavy objects stay toward the top of the glass. The reason why the liquids did not mix is because they repel each other and some are just to thick to mix with each other.
