Young scholars find the density of diet soda and regular soda. In this density lesson plan, students measure the mass of a graduated cylinder with 10 different volumes of each soda. They find the mass of the liquid alone and use the...

Students explore the density of liquids. In this scientific inquiry lesson plan, students discover the density of water, corn syrup, and cooking oil through an experiment. In addition, students will draw and label pictures of the...

Students develop their own techniques for drawing a small sample of solutions into a straw. They hypothesize ways to increase the density of water, and discuss how salt-free rainwater tends to float on top of salty seawater.

Sprouting scientists explore the concept of density by making mass and volume measurements for five different liquids. From these measurements, they calculate densities. They apply their learning to explain Galileo's thermometer works...

Groups suspend objects within layers of liquids to determine the densities of different liquids and compare them to the densities of objects calculated in Part 1. The groups then carefully test their calculations by layering the...

Students experiment with a variety of liquids to calculate density. In this integrated science and math lesson, students listen to a story in which the characters must prove and explain why 5 "mystery" liquids react in a certain manner....

Students investigate density and salinity of water. For this density and salinity lesson plan, students find the density of objects and liquids and show the relationship between the salinity and density of water. Students add salt to...

Students work in groups to compare the density of different liquids.  For this density lesson, students use cooking oil, liquid detergent and water to measure density.  Students record their results and check the accuracy of...

Students determine the density of 1 drop of water. In this determining density lesson plan, students determine the mass and volume of a drop of water in the lab using appropriate lab techniques and calculate the density of a drop of water.

High schoolers explore displacement. In this displacement and density activity, pupils find the volume of irregular shaped objects. Afterward, they determine the volume of containers. They compute the amount of water displacement.

Students recognize different consumer products, found in and around the home, that have reactive or denaturing properties when used together. They explore chemical and physical properties of each product by identifying chemical formulas...

Students calculate the volume of a specific mass of water placed in selected pieces of common laboratory glassware, using the density formula. They then determine the accuracy of the volumetric measurement for selected pieces of...

Students calculate the density of regular and irregular solids and liquids. They relate the term dense to science as well as its literal meaning that society uses it as everyday. A worksheet is completed on density.

Students find the density of two substances. In this density lesson plan, students determine the density of water and ethyl alcohol and compare their densities. They enter their data into the computer to produce a class compiled graph....

Young scholars have the opportunity to observe, measure and analyze the density of aerosol shaving creams and foams generated from shampoo and dishwashing liquids or detergents.

Students explore the concept of density. In this density lesson plan, students determine the density of a crown and a sample of clay. They hypothesize about the densities of 4 liquids they are given including molasses, cooking oil, a red...

Students investigate the properties of matter. In this properties of matter lesson, students observe containers of different metals and discuss their properties including density. Students find the density of an unknown metal and of...

Students find the mass, volume, and density of various objects. In this density measurement activity, students observe how same-sized objects can have different masses, then use water displacement to find the density of each object and...

Students explore the concept of density. They use the the formula Density = Mass/Volume, one can determine where certain liquids and objects will settle in a graduated cylinder. In addiiton, they design a process to separate the liquids.

Students investigate the relationship between volume and mass in different liquids such as vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol and water. They measure the mass of several different volumes of each liquid and then graph the results as well as...

Students explore the causes of differences in density. Students choose objects, measure the mass and volume, and calculate the density of each. They perform additional density experiments to model atoms and their correspondence to...
