Diving Drops

Diving Drops and Sinking Feelings
Wednesday, 7th January, 2009
We poured some water into a cup. Next we added oil. We had to guess whether the oil would mix with the water, or whether the oil would lie on top or on the bottom of the water. The oil stays on top of the water.
Next we added syrup and had to guess where the syrup would stay. It fell to the bottom of the cup, under the layer of water. Lastly we dropped a few drops of red food dye into the cup. The drops sat on the top of the oil for a while (except for the biggest drop). Then they all rested between the oil and the water and finally the drops mixed in with the water giving a nice red colour to the water.
