The young scientists are anticipating an exciting year ahead as they prepare to learn more about the world around them. Already they have learned that science is the study of our natural world. Stay tuned throughout the year to see for yourself what our young scientists are learning through observation and experimentation.
Different liquids can have different densities.
The molecules are more compact in some substances than others. In our first experiment, our scientists poured equal amounts of oil, water and syrup into a large glass. Some had guessed that the liquids would all mix, others guessed that the liquids would separate. In the end, we learned that the syrup, the most dense liquid, sunk to the bottom. Water sat in the middle, and oil rose to the top.
