Liquid Layers

Today our scientist performed the "Liquid Layers" experiment. She performed the experiment twice! The first time she filled a clear cup with a bunch of different ingredients in a random order. As a class we didn't notice any layers. The second time the scientist placed the maple syrup in first, the glycerol in second, the blue-colored water in third, the cooking oil in fourth, and the green-colored alcohol in fifth. We noticed that the liquids stayed separate! This was because each liquid is actually floating on top of the more dense liquid directly beneath it! Great job, scientist!
