Today we carried out a ‘Layered Liquids’ experiment.  We added oil, coloured water and syrup to a cup.  Instead of mixing, the liquids layered on top of each other.

“The syrup is more dense than the water and the water is more dense than the oil” – Charley Allan

”The oil floats on top because it is the lightest liquid.  When it is the lightest it’s the least dense”. – Charlotte Speirs
