I'm guessing that the density is different enough that it will differentiate over time so that your students can see the different components. DeniseO-

What great resources. I have a question you may be able to help with. I am trying to create an "oil" that looks gross, but can be separated, evaporate, and maybe even burn. I want to discuss oil as a mixture and want to recreate that for my "oil spill" scenario. Any ideas? I've already used the cooking oil and chocolate. I want to add to that so they can separate out, perhaps by heating, other parts. Wow!! What great resources. I have a question you may be able to help with.

I hope we can bring your expertise into PBL Camp. Many teachers will be looking for ideas to incorporate science concepts in their projects. Thanks for getting us off to a good start! ~Suzie Eric,
