Stacking liquids?!
Exploring density (liquids and solutions)
Join Dr Cameron in an experiment to see whether you can stack liquids one on top of the other - surely that's impossible?! Let Dr Cameron show you how, then try this at home!
For this experiment, you will need: a tall glass, different liquids or solutions from the house.
Density of different liquid/solutions in grams per ml:
Here are the densities of the liquids I used in the video:
Olive oil - 0.92g/ml
Water - 1.00g/ml
White vinegar - 1.01g/ml
Milk - 1.03g/ml
Balsamic glaze - 1.06g/ml
Washing up liquid - 1.06g/ml
Maple syrup - 1.37g/ml
Golden syrup - 1.43g/ml
You can check the densities of your liquids on the internet.
