You will need:
1/3 cup (80 milliliters) light corn syrup
|
Here's how
Pour the corn syrup, glycerin, water, and vegetable
oil into four separate cups.
Add a few drops of red food colouring to the
corn syrup. Add drops of blue to the water. Do not colour the oil or glycerin.
Pour the red syrup into the glass or jar. Try
not to let it dribble down the sides.
Use the funnel to pour the glycerin down the
inside of the glass. Pour carefully to avoid disturbing the bottom layer.
Wash the funnel.
Repeat step 4, first adding the blue water, then
the oil, washing the funnel between steps.
The liquids will stay in separate layers if you
are careful not to shake the glass.
Why?
Each liquid has its own density. You added liquids
in order from highest to lowest density.
The oil stays on top because it is least dense.
