Fifth graders build objects using various materials. They estimate the weight of the object using individual building pieces. Then they weigh the actual object and then tear it apart and weigh the pieces. They compare the two weights.

Young scholars investigate atoms as particles that make up all matter. They examine the mass of matter.

Learners demonstrate Newton's Second Law of Motion by showing the reaction of a rolling car by increasing its mass and propulsion.

Students hypothesize and observe what occurs when raisins are dropped in a carbonated liquid. They examine buoyancy and how density effects ascent and descent.

Fifth graders determine volume and density through their knowledge of mass, volume and density.

Fourth graders explore how to play marbles while learning the scientific concepts of force, motion, mass, acceleration, friction, and inertia.

Young scholars compare and contrast the mass, volume, and density of various objects. They use a triple beam balance, measure and record the volume of a cup of water, and discuss the results.

Students participate in a qualitative discussion of the distinction between weight and mass, followed by a description of astronaut mass measurements in a zero-g environment.

Students view a variety of sculptures analyzing how space and mass interact, and how sculptors make choices about mass and space to express meaning in their art. They make small three-dimensional sketches experimenting with mass and space.

Students participate in Density Discoveries, which is a hands-on learning opportunity for students to find the mass, volume, and density of solid matter.

In this conversions worksheet, students complete 8 problems where they convert amounts of weight and mass including pounds, tons, ounces, milligrams, and more.

Eighth graders determine the density using mass and volume. In this science instructional activity, 8th graders explain why some materials float or sink. They estimate the density of objects based on whether it floats or sinks in a...

Seventh graders define density in their own words. In this physics lesson, 7th graders solve density problems using its mathematical formula. They explain why some objects flow and some sink.

Students define density in their own words. In this physics lesson, students calculate density using mass and volume. They explain why some objects sink and some float.

Students determine what factors affect the speed of the car. In this physics instructional activity, students calculate speed, velocity and acceleration from experimental data. They construct and interpret motion graphs.

Ninth graders explore circular motion.  In this centripetal force instructional activity students complete a lab activity while in groups. 

Young scholars determine a spring constant and extrapolate information from a graph.  For this spring lesson students divide into groups and complete a lab activity. 

Students determine the center of percussion and the center of mass for a baseball bat.  In this projective motion lesson students demonstrate the relationship between the position of the baseball bat and when its in the position in...

Eighth graders measure irregular and regular shaped solids.  In this investigative lesson students calculator volume, mass and density of wood and blocks.

Students demonstrate Newtons law of motion by examining the reaction of a rolling car when its mass and acceleration is increased.  In this acceleration lesson students complete and activity that shows them how Newtons Law of Motion...

Students participate in an activity where they build a calibrated thermometer.  For this thermometer lesson students complete this activity and take notes. 

Students examine how ice changes state and when  its volume changes.  In this mass lesson plan students complete a lab that shows them how waters volume can change. 

Young scholars investigate where a new element would be located on the periodic table. For this isotope lesson, students find the mass of a new element, people mass. This number will be entered onto the periodic table of elements as the...

Students study gravitational force an.  In this gravitational force lesson students observe a demonstration.
