Density Teacher Resources
Find teacher approved Density educational resource ideas and activities
Learners discover the property of density while participating in a lab exercise. In this scientific measuring lesson, pupils utilize a scale to measure the density of different metal materials. They document their work and present their research to the class via PowerPoint.
Young mathematicians discover that density is a unique physical property of matter and find the mass of given materials using balance. They find the volume of rectangular prisms and of given objects using the water displacement method.
Introduce your budding scientists to density with this vibrant slideshow. The artwork included helps learners to vizualize the property of density, and practice activities are included to teach how to calculate density values. There is a section of slides that touches on carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide that you may want to skip over. Nonetheless, this resource is recommended.
Middle schoolers explore geometry by completing a physics activity on-line. In this mass measurement lesson, pupils define the terms mass, volume, and density and identify their relationship with each other. They complete an on-line worksheet based upon the three measurements.
In this density instructional activity, students learn about density and how to solve density problems. They calculate the mass, volume, or density in fifteen problems using what they learned.
High schoolers explore the concept of density. In this density lesson, pupils collect data on the mass and volume of pennies made before 1982 and after 1984. They plot the data and find a regression line to fit the data.
Learners apply the steps of the scientific method. In this mass and density lesson, pupils follow the provided steps to compare and contrast the mass and density of four types of chocolates.
In this density learning exercise, students review how to rearrange the equation for density to solve for mass or volume. Then students complete 4 problems.
Students measure mass, volume and density. In this measurement lesson, students learn vocabulary words associated with mass, volume and density. Students discuss the types of measurement and record the mass, volume and density of various objects. Students graph their results.
Starting with a guide to finding the density of water using a graduating cylinder, this lab sheet also provides the steps for an unknown liquid sample. The steps for the calculations are given and pupils are expected to design their own experiment and write a formal lab report.
