Description
Students will calculate density to identify unknown liquids. They will be given a small amount of each type of liquid. Students will then find the mass of each liquid and use the information to calculate its density and determine its identity.
This lab can be easily adapted for more/less mystery liquids. The ones listed are suggestions. Feel free to swap liquids for what you have on hand. Please note that the values of the densities are based on data from manufacturers. Densities vary from brand to brand.
This product contains three complete labs that are differentiated for all of your students. All labs have comprehension questions, Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (C.E.R.) prompts, and a reflection section.

Suggestions are made for the students to get started, but most of the decisions will be student-generated. The students will be responsible for most aspects of the lab and will have the least guidance. Suggested for advanced learners.
