It's Science!!! Pt. 1

Last Saturday, March 30th, was our first Science Saturday. The subject for this project was density and titled "How Dense Are You??"

Our first encounter with density included water, food coloring, and sugar (Full recipe and instructions found at Sugarsnips). We used different amounts of sugar and the same amount of water mixed into each cup. The red held the most sugar while the green held the least.

Once finished we began layering the sugar mixtures little by little starting with the most dense (the glass with the most sugar - red) to the least dense (green).

At first, the two mixtures (red and yellow) began to mix all together and turn green but they began to separate a few minutes later. You can see a little of the yellow at the top of the mixture ;o).

You continue layering and you should end up with four different colored layers!

 Stay tuned for part two of "It's Science!!!"
