It's Science!! Pt. 2

So, on "It's Science!!! Pt. 1" we explored the topic of density using a few spoonfuls of sugar and some water. For the second half, we explored density using different liquids that you can find in your kitchen. Full directions and ingredients for this experiment are found here.

From left to right: Honey, Syrup, Liquid Dish Washing Soap, Vegetable Oil, and Water (not shown)

We asked the participants to choose which liquid to begin using and continued to layer as we did in the first "experiment." The original order was 1. Honey, 2. Syrup, 3. Soap, 4. Oil, 5. Water and this is what it looked like:

You probably can't see it but the water and oil mixed together and then slowly began to separate. Apparently, water is more dense than oil ;o).

And after about 5 minutes the water and oil completely separate.

Have any of you ever experimented with density? Have you ever had a certain expectation for a science project and found out the opposite was true? Let us know in the comments below!
