Students calculate the densities of several liquids that appear similar.  In this physical science lesson, students go beyond understanding the way liquids of different densities behave to researching how this knowledge applies in...

Students explore density. In this science lesson plan, students gain an understanding of the concept of density, especially as it relates to liquid. Students demonstrate that a less dense liquid will float on a denser liquid and that...

In this sun worksheet, students read about calculating the internal density and mass of the sun. Kids use a given formula for the internal density of the sun's gases which students use to solve four mathematical problems.

Students comrehend that water displacement is a simple way to measure the volume of a solid object. They pour water into a graduated cylinder or measuring cup and its volume is read and recorded. Pupils the volume of an object by...

Students experiment to find which liquids are more dense.  For this density and mass lesson, students predict and then test objects to observe and measure their density. students observe which items sink and float. Students complete...

Students explore physical science by conducting an in-class experiment. In this density instructional activity, students define vocabulary terms dealing with physics and discuss their knowledge of density. Students conduct several "sink...

In this density worksheet, students use different liquid densities to determine the order they would settle in if poured in a container together. Students review vocabulary terms associated with the density of matter. This worksheet has...

Students investigate how changing pressure affects density. In this physics lesson, students explain the relationship between density and pressure. They observe the Cartesian diver in the lab as pressure is changed inside.

How did the earth become the mass that it is now? Your young scientists explore this question through the concept of density. Their inquiries consider the impact of gravity on the formation of planets. The culminating activity of the...

Middle schoolers analyze given data on density and diameter of objects in space by graphing the data and then discussing their findings. This ninth installment of a 22-part series emphasizes the Galilean moons as compared to other...

Learners calculate the pixel density of a specific cell phone using the concept of similarity. They use information from the cell phone's website to make their calculations and then compare their results to the posted information.

Don't be so dense that light bends around you; study the relationship between mass and volume instead. Young chemists measure the density of a variety of liquids and solids. A reading passage and analysis questions introduce pupils to...

Huygens spacecraft landed on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005, making it the farthest landing from Earth ever made by a spacecraft. In this hands-on activity, the 12th installment of 22, groups explore how density affects speed. To do this,...

Students explore the concept of density. For this density lesson, students determine the density of various objects. Students use the density of the various objects to predict the density of various unknown solutions.

In this chemistry activity, students identify and describe that density is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the volume of the substance at a given temperature. They also respond to various questions that refer to density in...

Students explore the meaning of density. In this density lesson, students use interactive whiteboards to review definitions regarding density and compare the density of selected objects.

Students investigate how to find the density of fluids and solids using math. Students also learn how to find the density of regular and irregular shaped objects.

In this density worksheet, students explore an internet program called Gizmo where they do an experiment with density. Students complete 18 questions.

Learners explore the physical properties of density. In this hands-on activity, students calculate density and distinguish between intensive and extensive properties.

Students identify different woods based on their density. In this density lesson, students use a triple beam balance to find the mass and a metric ruler for the volume. They look through various wood blocks and identify what type of wood...

Students investigate why some objects float or sink in water. In this physics lesson, students calculate the density of clay ball using a mathematical equation. They write a complete lab report about the experiment.

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...

High schoolers observe a demonstration of regular soda versus diet soda.  In this exploring density instructional activity students complete a lab on density and present a PowerPoint presentations of their results.

Students determine the density of Plaster of Paris that has been prepared with a foam generated from dishwashing liquids and shampoo.
