Abstract
This is a simple experiment to observe variations in the density of water and other liquids at different temperatures with CBL technology. Using it students can observe the anomalous behavior of water at temperatures between 0 °C and 4 °C.
Supplement
Detailed instructions to setup and run the CBL and calculator are available.
