I am doing that experiment because I have some school but it's coronavirus so I only do on line class and my science teacher weird making a video then we're gonna send it to my online Class
Wow! Thank you, this is so helpful and kind of you to make! I really appreciate the endless effort you put into this video. Thank you for having incredible animosity and truly taking care of everyone with this piece of effort filled media. Thank you.
Thanks for the brief explanation of density! It's crazy how many videos are out there that show the density tower with no explanation. Yours was great and easy to comprehend!
You may want to re-watch the portion of our video with the cartoon animations because that section explains the experiment. If a liquid has more molecules (or larger molecules) than another liquid, it will sink below the liquid with less (or smaller) molecules. Try to think of it like placing marbles in a bag above feathers, if you shake the bag all the marbles will drop to the bottom because they are heavier than the feathers. There are other forces taking part but this is the basic concept.
Yes it won’t but it’s still a problem since it will hurt anything that come near the surface which is a problem for animals which go in water and breath air.
For a school project, I was planning to do something like this. I would rather density layer than only use the sugar technique I've seen in other videos, the colors I need to use are green, white, pink, blue, red, purple, and yellow. What substances would you recommend for good layering? It would help a lot!
I did this experiment with my 9 year old son with a lesser number of liquids and it came out very well. But I have a question regarding the liquids and the order in which they are poured. We used the liquids as mentioned: Honey - 1.42, Light Corn Syrup - 1.33, 100% Maple Syrup - 1.37, Milk - 1.03 and Dawn Dish Soap - 1.06. Based on the above numbers it seems like its not a most dense to least dense order of stacking. Its seems more like its alternating. Could you explain what the logic or science behind the order in stacking the liquids are?
I need serious help......plz help me figure out how to stack those without mixing them......what is the key or secret? And by the way u guys r drinking awesome the experiment was a huge success and so educational I love to learn......
shawna remondet The key is the use a turkey baster or liquid syringe to slowly add the liquids on top of the next layer. If it's a liquid that isn't sticky, then you can try and pour it against the side of the glass to help slow it down, that way it has less of a change of mixing. I hope those tips help.
the reason why your chocolate syrup mixed was because your brand was made artificially and so if you used real chocolate syrup, then it would have worked everyone will get the same outcome
+Olivia Discon That is an interesting hypothesis. I will have to try it out. Do you have a brand or suggestion for a non-artificially created chocolate syrup? I don't think I have found many other than melting chocolate myself.
+The Sci Guys that is actually a great question it is very hard these days to find real chocolate syrup with cocoa and no artificial flavors, so i would just research it
+Olivia Discon Nesqick is the type we used in the experiment. I don't think it's the artificial flavors that bled into the other layer. I think it was the colouring that was in the syrup.
The syrup and chocolate sauce are very close to the same density. What you see mixing in our experiment is the brown food colouring in the chocolate sauce, bleeding into the syrup and colouring it brown. The sauce and syrup actually stay separate. What else about this experiment is causing you confusion? If you describe what you are having trouble with then I am more than happy to help you out.
My son has to have 15 layers of immiscible fluids for his science project. He found information regarding sugar water; that if more sugar is added, the more dense it is. Where in this tower should that be added? Thanks for your help!
+Amy S It depends on how much suger you add. Many of the layers in our tower like the syrups are close to what you would make with sugar. I would say it may need to be a bit of trial and error because it depends so much on how much sugar. I wouldn't test it on the full tower, but I would test it on a small volume of one of the layers and see if it sinks or floats, if it sinks then try a sample from the next layer down and repeat until you find the one it floats on.
I have a question, if you mix liquid A and B. Liquid B will float over liquid A, then you got another liquid C, if you mix it with liquid B, this one will float over liquid B. What will be the result if you mix the three liquids together?
afroditagbc It really depends on the liquids in question and if they are soluble with each other. If they aren't then in many cases the liquids will more or less separate back into layers. It can get sort of complicated but if you have something aqueous and two organic compounds that are immiscible with one another everything would eventually separate into distinct layers
Hi Guys i love your videos, but just a quick note, at 3:55 i think that number should read 7.91 x 10^25 rather than 7.91 x 10^24. From one scientist to another i thought you wouldn't mind the correction..... keep on doing what your doing though, great job!
Were all of the liquids the same temperature? If one was hot and another was cold, it's possible that the hot layer stayed on top of the cold layer (as hot liquids rise, just like how hot air rises) 😊
Wow! So amazing thank you so much for doing the video about this experiment it's helpfully for me to study science easier. Why I haven't found this before this is so good. // Sorry for my English skill it's not really good.
+Zarwuh LuwszYooh I don't think there would be a really easy way to separate them. The only thing that would come to mind would be to use the turkey baster to suck out each layer but you would probably still get some mixing.
Excuse me, you said that a liquid with a greater density than another liquid would sink to the bottom, but when we add water, alcohol, washing up liquid, golden syrup and vegetable oil, it will happen that the vegetable oil is in the lowest position but vegetable oil has lower density than water, it should be water with the higher density. can you tell me why? thank you
if u guys poured honey at last then honey will stay at the top or it will travels through other fluids and stay at the bottom is there anyone to answer this question
+Arpita Mulgund I wouldn't unless you know it won't react with anything else in the tower. We chose liquids that wouldn't have any adverse chemical reactions together.
Nelson Reynolds Walsh We discussed this a little bit and we didn't come up with a very specific answer. Generally, if two liquids are next to each other and are not able to dissolve into each other, like oil and water, they should stay separate indefinitely. If there are two liquids next to each other, like honey and maple syrup, which can mix, then those two will eventually combine into a single layer. It's just hard to say how long that it will take since it depends on a lot of factors. Generally, more viscous liquids will take longer to mix through diffusion.
+K Dog I would suggest you google the density of your specific brand of dish soap. Each dish soap is a little different especially between normal concentration and ultra concentration.
+Cody Perez Many of these liquids are very close in density. If you were to shake it then some of them would probably separate but a number of them would mix together. Like Chocolate syrup and milk.
isn't water less density than lamp oil? waiting for you to answer and help because i have a test later on density i want to sagest a video about viscosity thanks hope u answer
+Mohammed Ali lamp oil is less dense than water visit this site for more in formation: www.stevespanglerscience.com/lab/experiments/seven-layer-density-column/
+VainZ Back I am not sure there is a best. It depends on what the requirements are. If none than just pick the experiment that is the most interesting and that the 6th grader has the most passion for and then have fun with it and make sure to explain the concepts in a fun or interesting way. Then sprinkle a little wow factor
Soooo How is Gravity, strong enough to pull me a 170lbs man to earth, and all of the worlds oceans to earth, yet at the same time, not strong enough to pull these liquids into a single pool????? If gravity were REAL Liquid stacking would not be possible. It's about density all right.
When it comes to forces, gravity is actually incredibly weak. We had to look at two black holes smashing together 1.3 billion years ago for LIGO to even detect a gravitational wave.
You cant assert that gravity is weak, yet strong enough to hold the oceans to it, and yet not collapse these liquids into a single pool, that just sheer lunacy.2. no you didn't.
Thanks for helping me get another A+ on my assignment
+Maneet Nagra awesome!!

What happens if you put a lid on and shake it? Will it return to the layers?
You may want to re-watch the portion of our video with the cartoon animations because that section explains the experiment. If a liquid has more molecules (or larger molecules) than another liquid, it will sink below the liquid with less (or smaller) molecules. Try to think of it like placing marbles in a bag above feathers, if you shake the bag all the marbles will drop to the bottom because they are heavier than the feathers. There are other forces taking part but this is the basic concept.
We are from a small school in Australia and we love your video! Thanks for making it!
Me too but somewhere else
I have a question ? if their was a oil spill in the ocean , will the oil not sink because the water has more denstiy?
YES!You are right!PLEASE Subscribe my videos!
it depends on what kind of oil it is. I.e. Tar-like oil, or kitchen vegetable oil
Yes it won’t but it’s still a problem since it will hurt anything that come near the surface which is a problem for animals which go in water and breath air.
typically since oil has less density than water, most of the oil floats on the top of the water
What is the density of the chocolate syrup

Hi, do you have a list of densities of those liquids? (particular numbers)
so cool and very helpful

Could you explain what the logic or science behind the order in stacking the liquids are?
Is it okay to put any liquid in our density tower as long as we the order of the liquids will be from highest to lowest(according to their density)?
thank you so much

Hi,
I recently had a drink which had coffee, milk, tea in a layer form and it was hot. Could you please tell me how it is possible?
Were all of the liquids the same temperature? If one was hot and another was cold, it's possible that the hot layer stayed on top of the cold layer (as hot liquids rise, just like how hot air rises) 😊

We're supposed to be able to mix the towers and have them return to the same layers they started with. Can this tower be shook?
PLEASE I really need to know 😥
this really helped me a lot thanks!

What would be the easiest way to separate each product from each other?
+Zarwuh LuwszYooh I don't think there would be a really easy way to separate them. The only thing that would come to mind would be to use the turkey baster to suck out each layer but you would probably still get some mixing.

+Lucia Kara Oil should rise to the surface of the water. I am not sure why your vegetable oil is sinking could it possibly be contaminated?
Can you change the order of liquids
if u guys poured honey at last then honey will stay at the top or it will travels through other fluids and stay at the bottom is there anyone to answer this question
Honey will travels through other fluids and stay at the bottom
Can you please tell me the product by turn what you have added
Like 1. ______
2.______
order of layers, from bottom to top (highest density to lowest density):
1. honey
2. corn syrup
3. chocolate syrup
4. maple syrup
5. whole milk
6. dish soap
7. water (with purple food coloring)
8. vegetable oil (most likely canola, soybean, and/or sunflower oil)
9. extra-virgin olive oil
10. rubbing alcohol (with green food coloring)
11. baby oil
12. lamp oil
Tysm uuff
I had to start all over the dish soap messed it up
instead rubbing alcohol can I use thinner
please please reply🙏
+Arpita Mulgund I wouldn't unless you know it won't react with anything else in the tower. We chose liquids that wouldn't have any adverse chemical reactions together.
I did!
I hear this applys in string theory? How each dimension has a different density? It be cool if they replied
good
can we use something else than rubbing alcohol
sujatha shetty There are probably other liquids but none come to mind off the top of my head.
+Joshua Jolly I highly recommend NOT using bleach as sodium hypocloride can be unstable (as when mixed with ammonia) can create a toxic gas.
i wanna ask a question.Can we replace the chocolate syrup and maple syrup with other things?
Its really hard for me to find those things!
Thats super cool :D
Thank you very much. its an awesome video that explains density.
so the first thing you poured in has less or more density than the other liquids????? PLEASE ANSWER!!!! please please please!
What you added in the middle of layers
My text book reads, "Density is the mass per unit volume of a liquid." I am having trouble interpreting what this means.
Parth Parekh I’m 2 years late, but apparently density = mass divided by volume so... yeah
(I didn’t help yay)

Why didnt you mix it in the end😭😭😭 i would love to see that..
it dosent mix
delicious
Were do you by the turkey vaster
can you shake it with out it all mixing
+Destin Fernandez Nope but some of them will separate. Not all but some will.
if shaken, will some of the liquids mix?
+Kathy Tran yes

what can i add instead of rubbing alcohol ? and thanks
+أريج الجهني Not sure exactly. If you look up the density of rubbing alcohol and then google liquids with the same density you might find options.

Weight and mass are not the same thing. They are not synonyms.
they just wasted a perfectly good drink
Isn't Liquid glass more dense than honey?
+renan gamez Not sure where that came from. I would assume so but don't quote me on that.
what Dish Soap did you guys use? i used cascade and it messed my tower up.
xxgodkiller ronaldo We used Dawn dish soap. I think Dawn has a higher density which would probably cause it to work better.
