Young scholars calculate the size of a molecule. For this molecules and their sizes lesson plan, students find the size of an oleic acid molecule by using a measured amount of drops of oleic acid to find the volume of the sample, the...

Students define density and observe that things that are less dense than water will float. Students find the density of copper, iron and aluminum

Students observe the 'pouring' of a gas. They compare the masses (weights) and densities of two gases. Pupils define the following terms: matter, mass, and density. Students answer questions after watching the demonstration.

What do we do when a dive is too dangerous for humans to accomplish? Send in the robots! Middle school scientists get acquainted with several different models of submersible robots in the second activity of six from NOAA. Lab groups then...

Learners investigate the density of liquids. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and differentiate between volume, mass and density. They observe similarity and differences between coke and diet coke.

Students calculate the volume of scale model dinosaurs using a water displacement method. They use formulas to calculate the live mass each of the species of dinosaur. Then they complete and discuss a series of questions.

Young scholars measure volume using water displacement and mass using a balance. Once they have calculated these two values they will then calculate density while at the same time working on long division. After the activity and...

Students estimate the live mass of dinosaurs. Using dinosaur and modern animal models, students use simple displacement methods to calculate the volume of the models. They calculate the masses of each model. Students compare the...

Fifth graders review the definition of mass and volume. They calculate and graph the density of various types of fruit while working in groups on a spreadsheet program. They look at how size of the fruit can be similar but the weight is...

In this science measurement worksheet, students practice calculating volume, density, and area as it relates to science experiments. This worksheet has 4 multiple choice and 2 problems to solve.

In these area, perimeter, and volume worksheets, students complete 6 different activities to determine area, perimeter, or volume of a figure.

A comprehensive practice exam, this resource covers many areas of chemistry. The test includes 71 multiple choice questions on topics such as problem solving, chemical equations, chemical formulas, thermodynamics, acids and bases, and...

Compounding is dividing units. Pupils practice using compound measures such as units for speed and density to solve problems that range from straightforward speed problems to those requiring conversions. The last few items challenge...

Pupils learn everything from how to take scientific measurements, to accuracy/precision, to density and a plethora of topics from a presentation on the metric system.

In this stoichiometry worksheet, students practice calculating mass or volume for specific chemical reactions. This worksheet has 5 problems to solve.

Learners explore density by floating golf balls. They explore having their golf balls float halfway in a container of water and discuss density and its realtionship to where the golf balls are floating. After adding food coloring, they...

Amaze your scholars with an activity that uses a Cartesian diver to demonstrate Pascal's Law, Archimedes' Principle, and the Ideal Gas Law. Groups then repeat the process and make their own diver move up and down in a bottle.

Students research the development and implementation of a research vessel/vehicle used for deep ocean exploration. In this oceanography lesson, students calculate the density of objects by determining the mass and volume.

Young scholars observe earth science by examining results from an experiment. For this buoyancy lesson, students practice floating different items in two different liquids and identify why certain objects will float and others sink....

Pupils receive a miniature pumpkin and proceed through several stations to measure a variety of physical properties. The data is entered into a data sheet and the mass and volume measurements are used to calculate density. They also use...

In this metric activity, students complete 28 different metric calculations consisting of density, volume, mass, length, temperature, and time.

In this compounds worksheet, students determine the number of molecules in molar mass for given amounts of different compounds. This worksheet has 5 problems to solve.

Students collect data and make observations on how given element samples respond to the field of a magnet and they calculate the density of the samples by finding the mass and volume.

In this gas activity, students calculate molar mass and molecular weight of a given mass of gas at a specific temperature and pressure. Students calculate partial pressure of given gases. This activity has 6 word problems.
