#3 Science class

We have been very busy learing about physical and chemical properties of matter. One characteristic of matter is its density. Some of you know your students have asked to mix things up in a bottle and see if they layer out showing that different matter has different density (the amount of matter in a given space or volume).

We started by making a simple density cup, but then later we used six different liquids in our density cups. We had to make a hypothesis about where we thought everything would layer out....Most of us voted for the oil on top and that was right! Honey was on the bottom meaning it was the most dense matter we used.

Some of our students tried this at home with different kinds of liquids they had at home. Below are just a few of the first ones. We have a whole shelf full now! We also learned that if you shake things up you don't always get the original results...but that's another science lesson for later on!
