Description
Engage in a sensory experience by creating beautiful layers of colored liquids to illustrate principles of density and color mixing.
Ingredients
- Clear Jar or Container (preferably glass)
- Water
- Food Coloring (rainbow colors)
- Sugar (for creating density)
- Spoon or Stirring Stick
- Measuring Cups
- Label (optional, for naming your layers)
Instructions
- Prepare your layers by measuring out 1 cup of hot water, mixing in varying amounts of sugar (from 1 tablespoon to 3 tablespoons), and stirring until dissolved.
- Add food coloring to each sugar solution after it has fully dissolved.
- Carefully pour the first layer into the jar using a spoon to slow down the flow, and repeat with each layer, pouring gently down the side.
- Enjoy the vibrant colors as they stack, and place the jar in a well-lit area to showcase its beauty.
Notes
Experiment with different liquids such as vegetable oil or corn syrup for varying effects, and consider using flavored gelatin instead of sugar for a fun twist.
