The sixth grade students were given four mystery liquids and had to test the chemical property of flammability. They dipped strips of paper into each of the four mystery liquids and then held the strip of paper over an open flame. As you can see in the pictures, they were surprised to find that one of the liquids was flammable!!!!

6th graders explored the densities of water and cooking oil.
They measured predetermined volumes of each liquid, poured them into jars, made observations, shook them for two minutes and then let them settle for ten minutes to see if the liquids would separate back into two layers.

Thanks to the 6th graders and teachers for putting on such a great event.
