This lesson will introduce the concept of density and show how to calculate the density of an object.

Concluding a two-part lab activity, students use triple balance beams and graduated cylinders to take measurements and calculate densities of several household liquids and compare them to the densities of irregularly shaped objects (as...

A lab experiment that shows students that different molecules melt in different ways. This lab also allows students to practice calculating and finding density, mass, and volume. Lesson plan includes lab handout for students.

Six interactive chemistry lessons about density complete with handouts and animations.

In this instructional activity students will learn about the stratification of the ocean by using a simulation to show the different densities. The simulation explores how temperature, salinity, and wind affect the development of water...

In this lesson, students will investigate why the Cartesian diver dives and rises in a 2 liter bottle. They will also, through their own discovery, come up with a question and then change one variable and record their results. Students...

Students are introduced to the challenge question, which revolves around proving that a cabinet X-ray system can produce bone mineral density images. Students work independently to generate ideas from the questions provided then share...

In this lesson students revisit the mathematics required to find bone mineral density, to which they were introduced in Lesson 2. They will learn the equation to find intensity and how to use it. There is a sheet of practice problems...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Overview of population size, density, and distribution.

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 lesson, students are asked to examine a model for a space station on Mars that will house six researchers studying the possibility of establishing a colony. Given the dimensions of the station and the minimum amount of space...

An introduction to density, mass, and volume with links to related books and activities.

Because different liquids have different properties, density also differs. In this lesson from the Illinois Institute of Technology, students will calculate densities of water, dish-washing detergent, cooking oil, and other liquids.

This lab experiment has students observe and compare the density of five different liquids while measuring mass and volume.

This lesson will define density as mass/volume and provide relevant real world examples of objects with varying densities. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Definition of Density."

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This Concept expands upon the previous by discussing further the normal distribution and the probabilities associated with it by looking at the normal density curve.

Students learn about geotechnical engineers and their use of physical properties, such as soil density, to determine the ability of various soils to offer support to foundations. In an associated activity, students determine the bulk...

This video explains how the early Greek mathematician Archimedes discovered the principle relating density, volume, and displacement of water. [3:01] Includes a brief quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.

Simple experiments dealing with water temperature and density that you can complete in the lab and at home.
