Destiny Lab Part 2

Part 2: 02/06/15

When I got done with Destiny Lab Part 1, I got together with my partners, Jake and Isaiah, to start doing part 2 on Friday. What we did was start by collecting four items; Rubbing alcohol, whole milk, water, and baby oil. We then got the scale to measure the density of the liquids. We created a graph to show which liquid had the most and least destiny.


Liquid                            Density
.8g - Rubbing alcohol     .00008
.75 g - Water                 .000075
.7g - Baby oil                 .00007
.35g - Milk                     .000035

Rubbing Alcohol - .8 grams in weight
10mL
.8g/10,000

Water - .75 grams in weight
10mL
.75g/10,000

Baby oil - .7g grams in weight
10mL
.7g/10,000

Milk - .35g grams in weight
10mL
.35g/10,0000

We then got food coloring to show how the layers would look like and mixed them up with each liquid individually. First we got a beaker and put the colored rubbing alcohol in first because it is has the most density. Then we put in water second, then baby oil. The process was going fine, we were getting layers. But when we put in milk last it went right through the baby oil and went into the water. I think I know what went wrong, and it was the whole milk. Maybe the milk had more density then the water and we measured them wrong.

Even though we failed in this lab, we got a cool result. When the milk went through the baby oil it looked like the dip n' dots ice cream and it popped when it reached water which made the milk stream down. To me it looked like someone painted inside the beaker. Overall this lab was fun, even if we didn't' get the results we wanted.

  1. Hi Agnes. Well done, although your calculations for the densities of the liquids are off a bit. 1ml = 1ml. a ml is a cubic centimeter. Please correct them for full credit.
