Hop into a resource on Beer's Law. A PowerPoint presentation introduces Beer's law as part of calculating bone density from X-ray images in the sixth lesson in the series of seven. Individuals work on practice problems with this law and...

Not many lessons on states of matter can hold a candle to this one! Junior chemists gauge the density of paraffin in both liquid and solid phases. They fill 60 mL syringes with different materials to experiment with compressibility and...

Tenth graders investigate the carbon monoxide level at a fixed latitude. They determine if there is a relationship to population density. They download data sets and generate a graph. They determine a link between human activity and...

Without water there would be no life on this planet. Biology learners find out why by reading this handout. Create a worksheet of questions to answer after the reading. Follow it up with quick demonstrations or laboratory activities that...

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.

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...

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 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 explore models of density; wooden balls and marbles discussing whether they think the volume and mass are the same or different. They then compare the density of a loaf of bread that is squished and one that is not compressed.

Students comprehend that density depends on the type of material and not on the amount of material. They use a spoonfl of table salt and a box of table salt and have the same density. Pupils comprehend that density is calculated by...

Students explore what causes differences in density. They observe an models depecting atoms, compounds, and molecules. Students determine if there is air in between atomic bonds. They study the structure and spacing of molecular bonds.

Students explore how density changes. Students read an article on density. They observe a ball and ring demonstration and discuss the outcome. Students draw models of the demonstration and explain what happened.

Students investigate density and its relationship to air and gas. Students perform experiments to determine if gases have mass. They explore possible ways to figure out the density of gases.

Students consider density and how it affects sinking and floating. Students make predictions, test liquids, and observe why some liquids sink and others float. They perform experiments to determine relational causality and how liquids...

Students review the relationship between mass and volume is constant for a pure substance under standard conditions. They complete mass and volume worksheets using formulas for calculating density.

Students apply knowledge about density of solids from previous experimentation to this activity which they investigate the density of liquids. They work in small groups to mix water and syrup, and water and oil to see what occurs....

Students examine population density in Jewish ghettos. In this Holocaust lesson, students calculate population density of cities around the world using the provided information. Students then discuss the implications of high...

Students participate in several density lab activities in order to clarify the misconceptions that solids sink and liquids float. Students work with triple beam balances to find mass of objects to calculate density.

Young scholars observe experiments in density and describe the results. In the experiment, milk, corn syrup, and oil are added in different orders to three glasses, while one other glass contains only water. As objects are dropped into...

Eighth graders determine the density of a sinker by first finding the mass and then the volume using a graduated cylinder. Students must write the procedure they use to find the volume of the sinker then apply their data to follow-up...

Second graders watch a demonstration and complete an experiment to determine how an objects' density allows it to float or sink. They work in small groups to assimilate the characteristics of items that float as opposed to simply...

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...

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...
