SCIENCE MAGIC TRICK

TITLE: Denser Than You Think


CONCEPT: Liquids have different densities, meaning some are heavier than
others. This experiment explores how density affects how liquids layer and how
objects float in them.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the layering of liquids with different densities (honey,
water, and oil) and to determine which objects will float in each layer. We will
test a coin (sinking in honey), a calamansi (floating in water), and a bottle lid
(floating on oil).

MATERIALS:
- 1 plastic cup - 1 Coin
- 1/4 Cup Water - 1 Calamansi
- 1/4 Cup Honey - 1 Bottle Lid
- 1/4 Cup Oil

PROCEDURE:
Start by pouring 1/4 cup of water into a clear glass or jar. Gently add 1/4 cup of
honey on top of the water, allowing it to sink to the bottom and form a distinct
layer. Add a small amount of water (about a tablespoon) to the top layer to
create a clearer separation between the water and the honey. Finish by slowly
pouring a small amount of oil (about 1/4 cup) on top of the water layer, creating
the final layer. Now, carefully drop a coin into the glass, observing where it
settles. Next, gently drop a calamansi into the glass and observe where it floats.
Finally, place the bottle lid on top of the oil layer and observe if it floats or sinks.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:


The results of the experiment clearly illustrate the concept of density. The coin,
being denser than all three liquids, sank to the bottom, passing through each
layer. The calamansi, denser than oil but less dense than water, floated
comfortably in the water layer. The bottle lid, being less dense than all three
liquids, remained afloat on the surface of the oil layer. These observations
demonstrate that objects with different densities behave differently when placed
in liquids, with denser objects sinking and less dense objects floating. The
layering of the liquids further emphasizes this principle, showcasing that liquids
with different densities do not mix but instead form distinct layers.

CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, this experiment successfully demonstrated the concept of density
and its impact on the behavior of objects in liquids. The layering of honey, water,
and oil, with their varying densities, created distinct layers, and the sinking or
floating of the coin, calamansi, and bottle lid confirmed that objects with
different densities will behave differently in these liquids.
