In this lesson, students will create a colorful rainbow in a jar using liquids of different densities. This hands-on activity introduces students to the scientific concepts of density and layering in a visually engaging way. By observing how different liquids stack on top of each other, students will gain a deeper understanding of how density affects the behavior of substances. This lesson is important as it encourages curiosity and critical thinking, while also providing a fun and interactive way to learn about science.
