There is nothing a I find as much fun as mixing up things together to see what new thing can be made out of the mixture. Sand with water, or oil with vinegar, its fun to see mixtures being made. Here are a couple of mixtures that you will enjoy making and they illustrate scientific principles as well.

You will need a clear bottle in which to pour the liquids. A regular plastic cold drink bottle will work out just fine. Now take one cup or about 200 ml of honey and pour it into the bottle. Next add one cup of oil to the bottle. Last of all you can add one cup of water. Now wait for a while and you will see that the three fluids settle down in different layers in the bottle.

This happens because each of the levels is at a different density than its neighboring layers. The layer which is most dense will sink to the bottom, while the lightest layer will float on top. Look at the bottle and see which layer has gone down to the bottom and which one is floating on top? For more exciting science fun check out Awesome Science Projects.
