Discover atoms and molecules which make up matter, motion of atoms and how to measure the mass, volume and density of matter.

In this activity, the students will apply the concepts they learned regarding mass, volume and density in the previous activities to design a boat.

Use water displacement and a mass balance to determine the density of various objects in this interactive simulation.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers density and provides examples of density calculations.

Density is a ratio of the mass/people/things to volume/area. Given the density and one of the two quantities in the ratio, solve for the other quantity in the ratio.

In this activity, students investigate the history of density, its uses, and applications. Students will generate and calculate data applying it to a graph. They will be looking at the relationship between mass and volume.

This investigation introduces the concepts of volume, mass, and density and how they interact. Students will make predictions of whether an object will float or sink after finding mass and volume of an object.

Students explore the meaning of density and use their math skills to graph mass/volume data, write an equation for a line, and interpret the slope of the line. Students also find the density of two unknown mineral samples and use those...

This website provides explanations of mass, weight, and density with directions for building simple scales and balances. Provided as encouragement to teach these concepts to young children, it offers a good review for older students.

In this science inquiry, students investigate whether volume or density of objects determine the floating or sinking in water. Using a rock and a block of wood teachers engage students in the discussion of density, mass and volume.

This learning module discusses the definition of matter and what mass and volume measure. Module includes pictures, videos, and review questions.

In this demonstration, students will brainstorm to find a solution as to why Diet Coke floats and Coke sinks. Through this exercise students will arrive at a definition of density.

In this activity, learners will measure a variety of different materials from the classroom to determine how much matter is found in these materials then determine the mass of these materials using the same volume for each. The data will...

Why do hot air balloons float? This resource from the NOVA Web site offers a series of interactive activities that illustrates the physics of hot air balloons.

About how many cells are in the human body? The purpose of this task is for learners to apply the concepts of mass, volume, and density in a real-world context. Aligns with G-MG.A.2.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of density and how to calculate density.

Practice your density, mass, and volume calculations with these interactive review problems.

Use these word problems as a review in the areas of mass, density, and volume.

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Density will be introduced to students by a demonstration of coke verses diet coke. The teacher will then solve density problems for the students on the board. The class will then complete a lab on...

Students determine the mass and volume of soil samples and calculate the density of the soils. They use this information to determine the suitability of the soil to support a building foundation.

Chem4Kids! provides an overview of the symbols representing numerical values in chemical equations. Each symbol is defined and described.

Five lessons about the study of fluid mechanics. The unit concludes with students applying what they have learned to determine the stability of individual above-ground storage tanks given specific storm conditions so they can analyze...

In this interactive lesson, learn what the "physical properties" of matter are and how can they be measured and observed.

Just what is a penny worth? Students explore various websites or printed fact sheet investigating the history and changes in density of pre- and post- 1982 pennies. They will also research the current price of copper and zinc and compare...
