1.4) Density
A new material has been designed with an amazing lattice structure that reduces its density so much that it can sit on top of a dandelion without squashing it!!!!!
Activity 1) Rainbow Solutions
Your objective is to layer ALL the colours as perfectly as you can in a measuring cylinder!

Why do you think these liquids are able to sit on top of each other????
Activity 2) The 8 Layer Density Column
1) Take the eight ingredients and place them in a line that shows decreasing density. THINK about the property of the liquid that you used to determine density.
2) The actual order is given below. Change your order so that it is the same as that shown below.
3) Now carefully pour the honey, then the glucose syrup and finally the maple syrup WITHOUT touching the sides and SLOWLY
4) Now add the liquids in the CORRECT ORDER by tipping the liquid down the side of the measuring cylinder SLOWLY.
5) Finally carefully add the SOLID objects - one by one to your cylinder
6) Draw a diagram in your exercise book of your Density Column, labelling each component
Final Question: Is a kilogram of lead heavier than a kilogram of feathers?
How to use a Triple Beam Balance
Things to be careful when using a Triple Beam Balance
1) make sure that the silver pan is on correctly and it is hanging from the top hook
2) Zero your triple beam balance
Practice: What is the triple beam balance measuring for each the diagrams below:
