In this lesson, students will visualize the relationship between density of solutions and the relative position of an object in the solution.

• Students will calculate the density of liquids.
• Students will order the liquids in a graduated cylinder
• Students will predict at what level a solid object will float in the liquids.

• density
• float
• liquid
• mass
• sink
• solid
• volume

This lesson allows students to visually see the relationship between density of solutions and the relative position of an object in the solutions based on its density.
As a result, students will:

• Understand how solutions will separate based on their densities.
• Predict where a solid object will stop within the given solutions based on the known densities.
