Students review metric units of mass/weight and the relative size of items that match the weights. They estimate the mass of a number of items before using a balance scale to find the actual measurement. Also, the classify the type of matter that is being held in film cannister. Finally, they calculate and graph the densities of the substances. Full Review »

Students experimentally determine the density of a regular copper piece, irregular zinc pieces, and water. They determine their percent error and design an experiment to determine if density is an intensive or extensive property. They discover how a graph of mass vs. volume can be used to determine density. Full Review »
