How Dense are We?

Posted in Lesson Plans

Fill one-fourth of a glass with vegetable oil.

Add an equal amount of water and record results.

Add an equal amount of maple syrup and record results.

Add to the mixture a small rock, an olive,

an ice cube and a small cork.

 

THINKING QUESTIONS:

 

What do you see? 

Which substances contain the most tightly-packed atoms?

What conclusions can you draw about the density

of an ice-cube vs. the density of water? 

Which variable most affects the density of H20?
