Specific Gravity Lab
Page 1
In this lab exercise, students compared the specific gravity of four unknown liquids using straw hydrometers.  After observing and recording the action of the hydrometer in each of the liquids, students were asked to observe the effects of gently combining the liquids in a prescribed manner.  After making their observations and drawings, students were asked to examine their data and write their conclusions about the specific gravity, density & buoyant force of each liquid compared to the other liquids.
