Density is the comparison of the volume of an object to the matter. The fluid with the highest density is honey, while alcohol stands in the place of the lowest. The density of the fluids determines where each layer should be arranged in the glass container. Honey had a high density of 1.52g/mL, and with the high density comes high viscosity, which is why honey was poured first, becoming the bottom layer. The particles in the fluid were closely-packed due to the high density, and due to its thickness, which caused the honey to weigh greater compared to the other fluids in the glass container.

Meaning that the object that is put in will neither sink nor float and have a balance. The density helps you understand the buoyancy of the object. Suppose the object has a greater density than the fluid, it will submerge. For instance, the rubbing alcohol had a greater density than the two objects that were dropped in. The ping-pong ball and the corkscrew were able to float because of the high buoyancy, whereas objects such as the larger and smaller screw had a larger density; therefore, it sunk to the honey. Indicating the honey with the density of 1.52g/mL is lower than the weight of the screws, as they had a lower buoyancy. Whereas the dish soap is where most objects seem to sink to. The same rule applies to the layer of dish soap. The tomato and the lego pieces are heavier than the dish soap fluid; however, not heavy enough for the fluid to sink into the corn syrup. The grape is just below the water, proving that its mass is just great enough to sink through the water, not floating, nor sinking to the layer before, the corn syrup. In addition, indicating that both the grape and the dawn dish soap had the same density. In the layer of the vegetable oil is where the bottle cap sunk to, somewhat similar to the grape. The bottle cap hovers right below the alcohol, meaning that the alcohol had a larger density than the bottle …show more content…
Suppose heat was added to a substance, the particles start to vibrate and move fast and farther apart. As the particles bounce off one another it causes the substance to expand, increasing its volume, and it’s density; however, keeping the mass the same. Supposing the temperature raised to 35°C, the densities of all the fluids in the glass container would increase. With the increase in temperature and higher density, the object would not sink as it has without the 35°C increase. Due to the amount of heat, the density will become higher; therefore, it will be tougher for the object to get through. The lego piece for instance, rather than be in the dawn dish soap, with increased temperature, it might hover in the layer of the water. The water would increase in density, making the lego not sink further than it did originally. Rather than increase 35°C, if the classroom decreased in 5°C the results would be the opposite of if heat was added. If a substance is exposed to a cooler temperature the particles would vibrate at a slow rate, and be closely packed together. Indicating the density and the volume of the fluids would decrease, no longer having the large amount of space between each particle. With that being said, rather than making it difficult for the objects to pass through, it would be easier. In comparison to adding heat, the cool temperature would create the opposite effect, allowing the object to sink further. For
