Denser Than You Think - Science Experiment

Simple density science experiment that you can try at home to see how liquids and objects with different densities behave. Using three fluids (syrup, water and oil) we can see they clearly have different densities, and form clear layers. By dropping items with different densities into the glass, we can see which fluids are denser than them.

Great experiment. A perfect combination of the two experiments I used earlier this week (objects that float or sink in water, and mixing oil and water!

"Oil can fly on water"
Me waiting to be rain, also in oil form lol

I remember doing an experiment like that in Middle school. Only difference was we didn't drop tiny objects in, but, it was still a cool experiment.

Your videos are may be the most useful videos on youtube you deserve more subscribers man keep up the good work!

Awesome! I already did this expirement at school, but you did it so much better...

[nigelbottomley]

Works great! Looks even better if you increase the amounts and use a tall 500ml glass measuring cylinder for a classroom demo.

Wow, this reminds me of the childrens science books I got when I was just a kid, I always loved looking at the pictures of different colored liquids of different densities. It was one of the first "scientific" experiments I did as a child, I think the second one was the weighted pen cap with an air bubble inside in a 2 liter bottle full of water that would float or sink depending on how hard you squeezed. Good memories. Also reminds me of the "I Spy" books too, I got one of those with that science book...

For my 4th grade science fair, I had to do an experiment on density and used this as a guide video! Thx Dave ( :

[TooshanSrivastava]

What an elegant setup to teach specific gravity; thank you for this! :)

Omg I finally found this channel after 10 years I loved your Channel as a child

[chamaemelumnobile]

I love this :D Thank you for sharing! :D

Dave, I'd just like to say something. Today at school we were doing science and everyone were bored so they were colouring in their timetables. As soon as our teacher turned this video on, everybody looked up from their timetables or books and that just shows how great your videos are!

Stay safe, have fun and as always... Thanks for watching!

I've tried the first experiment before. It's so awesome!!

[POASO]

COOL! That was awesome! I wish my Science Teacher would have shown us stuff like that. :)

" pretty cool huh? " love it!!!

[azachhhuh]

When the sponge was put on the oil, it looks like there is an invisible wall right there haha

[tylerarnold]

"shining a *torch beam* gives a cool effect"

[warey]

"Pretty Cool, huh?" - I LOVE THIS ^^

It's a really yay cooollll project for our school times and a really satisfying project and I had really fun doing it for my project of holiday homework and everyone should do it because it's really fun.
