This Blog's History: Oil and Water Experiment

This Blog's History

Starting several years ago, every Friday I link back to a previous post I wrote. Why? I may be biased, but I think there's quite a bit of good, exciting science I post on this blog, and I like to revisit these old posts. Plus it is a way for new readers to see many of the cool science experiments I've done with my kids in the past without reading the blog from day one, which was over 1,000 posts ago!

Oil and Water Experiment

A classic science experiment you can do with your kids when they are young is a mixing of oil and water. Simply fill a glass or bowl of water with vegetable oil (or any other type of cooking oil). Then watch the two separate due to the differences in their densities! It's a great example of density and separation of liquids. If you are feeling bold you can try mixing other liquids to see how they separate.
