Liquid Density Column Chemistry Lab

Description

On Day 1, students will take 4 objects (wood stick, marble, crayon, and a pasta piece) and make predictions as to their density. They will then find their actual densities and explain why their predictions were either correct or incorrect. On Day 2, students will use the actual densities of the objects to make predictions as to where they will end up when placed into a student-made liquid density column.
This lab is perfect for general science, physical science, and chemistry. Both middle and high school students will enjoy this fun lab. The lab is designed to run about two days, averaging 45-50 minutes per day.
