Description
Mixing Oil & Water Science Experiment | Density & Properties of Liquids Lab Activity
Science Topic: Density & Properties of Liquids
Can oil and water really mix together? Let your students investigate this question with a simple, hands-on Mixing Oil & Water Science Experiment!
Students will combine oil and water and observe what happens when the two liquids are mixed. They’ll discover that the liquids separate into layers rather than staying mixed together and investigate how density and the properties of different liquids affect what they observe.
Students Will Learn About
✔ Density
✔ Properties of Liquids
✔ Oil & Water
✔ Why Some Liquids Don’t Mix
✔ Immiscible Liquids
✔ Scientific Method skills
Students will discover that oil and water have different properties and densities, causing them to separate rather than form a single mixture.
They’ll also explore what happens when the liquids are mixed and observe that even after stirring, the oil and water eventually separate again.
