Why do some things sink and some things float? We will investigate this question today while making a density tower. Our density tower will have four different liquids. We will watch as some layers float and sink, forming our tower. Once we have created our tower, we will drop some small household objects and guess if they will float or sink. We will use our experiments to discuss density. You will need a drinking glass or clear glass jar, optional food coloring, water, corn syrup or honey or molasses, cooking oil, dish soap, and food coloring. **Bring different objects to test!** You may bring as many optional solid materials; some ideas include bottlecap, marble, cherry tomato or grape, and dice.

Welcome to my Outschool profile! I'm an enthusiastic science educator with a passion for inspiring young minds. With over a decade of teaching experience, I specialize in middle and high school sciences, including chemistry, physics, and biology.
My approach to teaching is all about making science relatable, exciting, and empowering for students. I focus not just on the facts but on teaching them how to think like scientists, solve problems, and use scientific language effectively. This builds their confidence and helps them see science as a skill they can master, opening doors to further exploration and advanced studies.
Whether you're looking for ongoing classes, one-time sessions, or semester-long courses, I offer a range of options to suit your needs. I'm also available for personalized tutoring and test preparation. If you are still looking for a time or topic that fits your schedule, feel free to reach out, and I'll do my best to accommodate you.
Let's embark on a journey of discovery and learning together! I can't wait to share my love for science with your students. Contact me to discuss how we can make science come alive in a way that's meaningful and fun for them. See you in class!Reviews
