Have you ever made a density tower using only sugar?!? Read on to learn more about this interesting science experiment!
So to start off, this one took a lot of patience and it required you to measuring very accurately, but the outcome is so beautiful and it’s totally worth it!
It took us about 30 minutes with quite a few trial and errors. Are you ready for this? If yes, scroll below. If not, still scroll below. =)
Materials:
4 glasses (or flasks similar to the ones we use)
Food coloring– red, yellow, green, blue
An empty Test Tube or a small glass
A liquid measuring cup
A tablespoon
Sugar
Water
4 pipettes
4 stirrers (we used long wooden dowels)
Directions
- Pour a cup of water into each of the 4 glasses.
- In the first glass, it will contain only water. DO NOT add sugar to the first glass. Move on to the second glass.
- Next, add 2 tablespoons (tbsp) of sugar into the 2nd glass. Stir to dissolve.
- Add 3 tbsp of sugar into the 3rd glass. Stir to dissolve.
- Add 4 tbsp of sugar into the 4th glass. Stir to dissolve.
- Next, in the first glass add a drop of red food coloring. Stir.
- Add a drop of yellow food coloring into the 2nd glass. Stir.
- Add a drop of green food coloring into the third glass. Stir.
- Add a drop of blue food coloring into the fourth glass. Stir.
- Using a Pipette and an empty test tube/glass, add in a bit of the blue water.
- Then, carefully add in the green water.
- Next, carefully add in the yellow water.
- Finally, carefully add in the red water.
You sugar density rainbow is now complete! How did it come out?
