Still image from: Emily's Science Lab: Easy Density Experiment for Kids

"Emily's Science Lab" presents an engaging lesson on density with the 'Density Hotel' experiment. MIT engineer Emily Calandrelli demonstrates how different liquids and objects interact based on their density. Using maple syrup, water, and oil, she builds layers in a glass and determines how objects like coins, grapes, and ping-pong balls settle in these layers. This interactive experiment introduces concepts of density, mass, and volume, using practical examples to explain why certain objects sink or float. The video aligns with Common Core standards for science education, emphasizing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It encourages exploration and experimentation, promoting curiosity in physical science principles. Part of the "Emily's Science Lab" series.
