Mystery Liquids: Linear Function
High schoolers determine the linear equations of the density of water and oil by collecting data on the mass of various volumes of each liquid. They construct scatter plots from the data and use these to write the linear equations for...

Light Intensity Lab
Let there be light. The last installment of a seven-part series has pupils conduct an experiment on light attenuation through different numbers of transparency sheets. They then relate the results back to how X-rays measure bone density.
Curated OER
Discovering Density
Students explore the physical properties of density. In this hands-on instructional activity, students calculate density and distinguish between intensive and extensive properties.
Curated OER
Weighing a Dinosaur
Students role play as paleontologists who make inferences about the weight of dinosaurs. They use models and the density of water to make these inferences.
Curated OER
Test Tube and Water
Students convert measurements from one unit to another. In this technology lesson plan, students create their own test tubes using a computer program. They calculate mass based on density information.
Curated OER
Weights of Objects
High schoolers differentiate between the weights of an object on different planets. In this geometry lesson, students investigate different weights and graph their results as it relates to the different planets. They appreciate the...
Curated OER
Architecture of the Skeleton
Students experiment with skeletons. In this bone health lesson, students analyze, construct, and perform comparative investigations with bones. They make inferences about the structure and function of various bones. This lesson includes...
Curated OER
Balance Point
In this math/science worksheet, students find the balance point of a variety of objects, and complete ten problems. Students look at sketches of objects and calculate the balance point, and also use meter sticks and weights. This is an...
Curated OER
Cubic Volume
Fifth graders record measurements and calculate the volume. They select and use appropriate units and procedures to measure volume # use tools such as technology to solve problems
