Layered Liquids

This worksheet examines how liquids with different densities form distinct layers when combined. Students predict which liquids will settle on the bottom or float on top and justify their reasoning with calculations. They analyze density values for various liquids like oil, water, and honey to interpret layering patterns. The activity reinforces conceptual understanding of density gradients and liquid interactions. It encourages logical reasoning, prediction, and explanation skills grounded in experimental science.
