It's time for Saturday Science again - I really look forward to Saturdays now! This link party is co-hosted by P Is For Preschooler, Lemon Lime Adventures, Suzy Homeschooler, The Joys of Boys, Little Bin For Little Hands, Stir The Wonder, and myself.

A somewhat random discussion this week led to this fun density experiment I threw together. I was trying to explain about density and I thought that the classic oil and water experiment but with a twist might illustrate the point best.

We've all seen the lava-lamp version of this, but I wanted something a little different so I froze colored water overnight before we tried it out.

Here's what happened when we floated the colored ice on top of some inexpensive cooking oil and let it melt.
