Exploring Liquid Density

What is the primary factor that determines the density of a liquid?

• The amount of light the liquid absorbs

• The color of the liquid

• The temperature of the liquid

• How closely the molecules are packed

Which item is not required for the density tower experiment?

• A heat source

• Safety glasses

• A glass container

• A turkey baster

What should you do if honey touches the side of the glass while pouring?

• Remove the honey with a spoon

• Add more honey to cover it up

• Wash the glass and start over

• Continue with the next layer

Which liquid is added first to the density tower?

• Corn syrup

• Chocolate syrup

• Maple syrup

• Honey

Why is it important to add liquids gently to the density tower?

• To prevent the glass from breaking

• To make the tower look prettier

• To save time during the experiment

• To keep the layers from mixing

What is the purpose of adding food coloring to some liquids?

• To make the experiment take longer

• To increase the volume of the liquid

• To make the layers more visible

• To change their density

Which liquid has the highest density in the density tower?

• Lamp oil

• Water

• Honey

• Baby oil

What determines if a liquid will sink or float in the density tower?

• The temperature of the liquid

• The color of the liquid

• The density of the liquid

• The volume of the liquid

Why do liquids with higher densities sink below liquids with lower densities?

• Because of their color

• Because of their volume

• Because of gravity

• Because of their molecular structure

What should you do if you want to experiment with liquid density at home?

• Start without telling anyone

• Get permission from a parent

• Avoid using any safety equipment

• Only use hazardous materials
