Water density experiments with lemons can be a fun and educational way to explore the concept of density and buoyancy.
Here are simple experiment you can try using lemons and water:
Experiment 1: Lemon Float or Sink
Materials Needed:
- A bowl or container filled with water
- Fresh lemons
Instructions:
- Fill a bowl or container with water.
- Take a fresh lemon and gently place it in the water.
- Observe whether the lemon floats or sinks in the water.
Explanation: In this experiment, you will notice that the lemon sinks in the water. This is because the density of the lemon is more than the density of water. .
Experiment 2: Lemon and Saltwater
Materials Needed:
- A bowl or container filled with water
- Fresh lemons
- Table salt
Instructions:
- Fill a bowl or container with water.
- Take a fresh lemon and place it in the water. Observe whether it floats or sinks.
- Now, sprinkle some table salt into the water and stir to dissolve it.
- Place the same lemon back into the water with the salt.
Explanation: In this experiment, you will observe that the lemon that initially sinked in plain water now floats when placed in the saltwater. Adding salt to water increases its density, making it denser than the lemon. As a result, the lemon that originally had higher density than plain water causing it to float
