Scholastic: Dirtmeister's Science Lab: That Sinking Feeling
Simple experiments dealing with water temperature and density that you can complete in the lab and at home.
Middle School Science
Mss: Density Demonstration: Coke vs. Diet Coke
In this demonstration, students will brainstorm to find a solution as to why Diet Coke floats and Coke sinks. Through this exercise students will arrive at a definition of density.
Science Museum of Minnesota
Science Museum of Minnesota: Thinking Fountain: Density
An introduction to density, mass, and volume with links to related books and activities.
Science and Mathematics Initiative for Learning Enhancement (SMILE)
Smile: Comparing Liquid Density
Because different liquids have different properties, density also differs. In this lesson from the Illinois Institute of Technology, learners will calculate densities of water, dish-washing detergent, cooking oil, and other liquids.
Science and Mathematics Initiative for Learning Enhancement (SMILE)
Smile: Comparing Densities of Different Liquids
This lab experiment has students observe and compare the density of five different liquids while measuring mass and volume.
Michigan Reach Out
Reach Out Michigan: Are All Liquids the Same
This experiment demonstrates the density of selected liquids.

The Science House: Daffy Densities
In this lab experiment, students will use 4 solids and 6 liquids to create colorful, layered rows demonstrating that less dense materials will float on top of the more dense materials.
Other
The Science House: Red, White, and Blue Ii
This colorful demonstration illustrates the rule, "likes dissolve likes," by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a density column." Teacher notes provide background information.
