Density Workbook
It's all about density! Here's a dense workbook for young scientists; they solve (and show work for) 29 density word problems, including a problem where they solve for the density of Godzilla. They complete labs analyzing metal...
Curated OER
Student - Designed Density Experiment and Poster
In this student-designed experiment worksheet, students decide on an experimental problem to solve. Students use the scientific method to perform an experiment and record the data. Students calculate the density of liquid used in the...
American Chemical Society
All Wet
Sometimes liquids just don't get along together. A fun experiment has scholars determine whether various liquids dissolve in water. They pour isopropyl alcohol, vegetable oil, and corn syrup into cups of water to see which ones mix well...
Curated OER
Deducing Density
In this deducing density activity, students follow the procedures to set up an experiment about objects floating in water and liquids of different densities, answer questions, collect data and complete charts.
Curated OER
Density Lab
In this biology worksheet, learners use the website given to become familiar with the equipment of a lab. The activity involves a link to a virtual laboratory. Then they determine an objects mass and volume by placing it in a graduate...
Curated OER
Density
In this density worksheet, students read a selection on density and answer 10 questions using the information from the selection.
Curated OER
Student Exploration: Density Laboratory
In this density laboratory activity, students complete 2 prior knowledge questions, then use the "Density Laboratory Gizmo" to complete several activities, answering short answer questions when finished.
University of Chicago
Don't Be Too Flaky
Snow, ice, and water are all composed of H2O. Does that mean they all have the same volume? Discover the ways that the densities of these substances determine their volumes, and how they change based on their current states of...

Concentrate This! Sugar or Salt...
Heat up your lessons on boiling points. The resource provides a three-part activity: first, groups find the boiling point of solutions; second, they create boiling point curves for salt and sugar solutions; and third, they mix a solution...
Curated OER
Name That Gas!
Young scientists discover that air is a mixture of different gases - mainly nitrogen and oxygen. The properties of some of the other gases found in oxygen are listed in a table, then learners must decide which one of those gases is...

Thermochemistry
In this thermochemistry learning exercise, students calculate the enthalpy of vaporization as well as the write the thermochemical expression for the production of the chemical reaction.
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Woods Hole Oceanography Institute: Activity: Demo for Density
In this experiment, students look at Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins, or DHABs, that are present in the Eastern Mediterranean, and make a model of a DHAB to investigate how liquids that have different densities can form layers. This...

Science Is Fun: Layered Liquids
An investigation into what properties liquids have that enable them to sit in separate layers in a container.
Chemistry Collective
Chem Collective: Identifying an Unknown Liquid From Its Density
In this activity, students use the virtual lab to design an experiment to determine the identity of mislabeled bottles using the densities of the solutions inside.
Exploratorium
Exploratorium: Science Snacks: Klutz Proof Density Column
An activity to help you create a density column that contains layers of liquids that are separated by different densities.

Lapeer County Schools Science Resources: Density Lab
A simple lab experiment for students to find the density of two solids and a liquid (does not use water displacement). Note that number 1d should not state "weighs" since mass is being found.
