You can use this to do science demonstrations in classrooms: A golf ball will float on saturated salt water, but sink in fresh water. You can partially fill a container with saturated salt water, then carefully fill the remainder with tap water, and the golf ball will float at the boundary between the two for a while. IIRC it can last a few weeks.
