Students investigate ways to find the density of irregular shaped objects. In this physics lesson, students calculate density using its mass and volume. They explain why some objects float or sink in water.

Third graders investigate shapes in our world. In this geometry activity, 3rd graders describe plane and solid shapes and identify angles, solid objects and lines of symmetry. Students use online resources, graphic organizers and conduct...

This machines PowerPoint reviews effort and force in relation to work and informs students about different types of machines and the different ways forces are applied and how they work to increase efficiency.

Young scholars predict if icebergs melting has an effect on the sea level rising.  In this global warming instructional activity students complete an experiment to see the effects of melting icebergs and write a conclusion on their...

Students study reaction rates, what determines how fast a reaction happens and how the chemical changes occur.  In this reactions lesson students complete a lab where they use Alka-Seltzer to observe reaction rate and create a graph...

In this experimental design and measurement worksheet, students answer questions about independent and dependent variables, they write hypotheses, they identify instruments that measure mass, weight, and volume and they calculate the...

Students construct 3-dimensional structures from 2-dimensional paper. They design and compile their structures to resemble a neighborhood community.

Tenth graders examine the heating curve of water when head is added constantly over time. They input values into a calculator as they record water temperature every thirty seconds as it is heated on a hot plate. They complete the...

Challenge your class with these physical science puzzlers, twisters, and teasers. Each individual responds to a series of riddle-style questions that are related to scientific terminology. While this has little educational value, it...

In this TAKS worksheet, 4th graders answer three multiple choice questions that pertain to objectives covered on the Texas state test. Students answer quesetions regarding geometric figures andplotting on a numberline.

In this math analogies worksheet, students respond to 4 questions that require them to analyze the relationships between math words. Students then write their own math analogies.

Young scholars study the attributes of liquids. In this science exploration lesson, students participate in a hands-on activity that requires them to examine the volume and shape of liquid.

In this volume lab worksheet, students are guided through an experiment to determine volume of a liquid. Students determine water displacement. Students use a formula to calculate volume of a solid figure.

Students calculate the surface area of cubes, solids and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students define the surface area formulas for different prisms. They calculate the surface area with 100%, and 80% accuracy.

Students practice soccer dribbling, passing, and trapping skills, which enhance students' self-reliance, trust and independence.

Students create plaster and wire mobiles/sculptures.

In this density of the human body worksheet, students measure several parts of the body to calculate the body volume. Students convert the body volume to body mass and body density.

Young scholars study Archimedes' Principle, flotation and the reaction of buoyant forces and explain the relationship between density and flotation.

Students discover that density is considered a property and that cutting an object in half does not affect its density. They examine the densities of many common substances and make connections.

Learners define and discuss salinity, conduct classroom experiment to determine salinity of water sample by using hydrometer, record predictions, and demonstrate understanding of how salinity influences object's ability to float in water.

In this surface area worksheet, 6th graders solve 6 word problems in which they find the surface area of cylinders. They use 3.14 for pi when calculating the area.

In this volume of cylinders worksheet, students solve 6 word problems related to the volume of various cylinders; students find volume, find height, solve reasoning problems and measure to given specifications.
