Introduction to the floating squares demonstration shows the preparation of the square of paper rubbed with graphite on one side.
A paper square rubbed with graphite on one side is placed at the interface between two immiscible liquids (carbon tetrachloride and water).
Carbon dioxide gas is poured down a covered trough with candles inside.
Methane gas from a beaker flows up a covered trough to a candle flame.
Balloons filled with gases more dense than air will fall.
