By weighing the liquids, the relative densities of the liquids can be found out: Corn syrup is the densest; vegetable oil is the least dense; water is in between.

Carefully pour the liquids into a clear plastic cup from most dense to least dense. A liquid will float or sink on one another based on their densities.The result will be as given below since the densities are in the order: corn syrup>water>vegetable oil.
