Congo Camp 2010

Campers and their test tube beads.

The Congo Chemists learned about density today by creating test tube bottled beads. These beads were placed in colored water and demonstrated exactly how density works.

Every time the campers flipped their test tube, the beads floated to the top. They explained how the less dense an object it the more easily it floats.

They finished their exploration of density by watching Ms. Jennifer, their counselor, so how oil always floats on water. Later this afternoon, they will be making lava lamps to see other ways that density is shown.
