Description
The Ocean Zones Science Kit helps students explore how density affects layering by creating a clear, visual model of the ocean’s zones. Using a series of liquids with different densities, students build a layered column that mimics how materials settle and separate in real-world environments.
The kit includes syrup, soap, vegetable oil, and baby oil. When water is added, students observe how each liquid forms a distinct layer, allowing for discussion around density, buoyancy, and why ocean zones form the way they do. The resulting model creates an immediate and memorable visual that supports scientific observation and explanation.
This kit is ideal for classroom demonstrations, small-group activities, or guided experiments. Students can make predictions, observe outcomes, and describe differences between layers, reinforcing core scientific practices without requiring advanced math or chemical formulas.
Note: Water is required for the activity but is not included.
The Ocean Zones Science Kit encourages curiosity and discussion while helping students build an intuitive understanding of density and layering through hands-on exploration.
