Do liquids mix???

Kayla and LaToya's Project
Find out if liquids mix?!?!

Things you will need
Food Coloring
Cup of Water
Cooking Oil
Spoon
Beaker

First pour the cup of water into the beaker. Be careful not the spill the water. :)
(Little over a half a cup of water will work perfectly)


Third add the cooking oil onto the water. Also be careful not the spill the oil. :)
(A fourth of oil will be plenty)





You can see that the oil sits on top of the water. Be sure to show your class this part!!
(You can also make a comparison to the movie Free Willy, and talk about oil spills)




Fourth add your food coloring.
(Dark colors work better)




Fifth stir your food coloring down to the bottom.
(After doing this let it set for a little bit because at first its hard to tell!)




The finish product!!
It only takes like 5 minutes to make and is cheap to make!!! :)

  1. A great job! I like to see your first experiment posting on the blog. One suggestion- you may leave some editing space on the post, which causes a long page.

  2. Kayla and LaToya,

    I loved this experiment and presentation! This would be a great way to teach students in a classroom about density!

    Wish we could have made our own!!!
