Density Column
For this lab, we were required to include 7 liquids and 2 solids that both float at different places in the column. All the liquids needed to have different densities, so that they floated on top of each other, creating a column- as shown above! During this project, I learned what it was loike to conduct a real science experiment. I found it interesting that if you layer liquids correctly, they will create a column. I can connect this project to the arts because in cullinary arts, they may need to know the density of baking liquids in order to properly create a dish. I think that we did our calculations very well, they are all very accurate. Something we could do better next time is choose liquids with better color differences, so that it would be clearer where they are in the coloumn.
How do you calculate density, and how can that result determine whether an object will float or sink?
You calculate density by dividing the mass by the volume. This result determines whether an object will float or sink because its all about the ratio of the two. The density is 1, it's neutral. If it is below 1, it will float. If it is greater than 1, the object will sink.
