The first thing you will observe is that Oil and Water won’t stay mixed together. Instead, the oil slowly rises to the top of the water. This is because of the density of the two liquids. The oil is less dense than the water, therefore it rises to the top.
The second thing you will observe is that including Dish Soap in the mixture, changed the result of the experiment. When Oil, Water and Dish Soap are mixed together, the Oil and Water don’t separate like they did when they were the only two items in the jar. This is because the dish soap is attracted to both the oil and the water and helps them both mix and stay mixed together.
Fun Fact: This same effect happens when you are washing dishing. The oil and grease on the dirt dishes is attached to the dish soap and water being used to wash them.
I hope you enjoyed the experiment. Here’s some printable instructions.
