In this inquiry lab activity, young scholars will attempt to layer 6 different kinds of soda pops in a large test tube using their knowledge of density and other physical properties of liquids.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the following online tutorial students will learn the Ideal Gas Law, and know which of the different values for the ideal gas constant to use in a given...

For this task, students are asked to find out how much snow has been shoveled using the concepts of area, depth, density, and rate. Aligns with HSG-MG.A.2.

A video and a short quiz on the properties of matter, covering mass, density, weight, and volume.

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...

Through this curricular unit, students are introduced to the important concept of density. The focus is on the more easily understood densities of solids, but students may also explore the densities of liquids and gases. Students devise...

In this interactive module you will be introduced to a unit on fluid dynamics. Learn how an object's density relates to its mass and volume by completing various activities and interactives.

This is the definitive source for information on SI base units, derived units, squares, cubes, luminosity, field strength and flux density.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will be able to change the mass and volume of an item and observe if it floats, sinks, or remains at a certain depth in the water. Students will also be able to change the liquid in level 2.

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

When air is warmed, it expands and becomes less dense. As the air becomes less dense, its air pressure decreases. This occurs because molecules in warm air have greater kinetic energy (energy of motion) than in cold air. As the molecules...

Conversion calculators galore! Convert just about anything from one measureable unit into another measureable unit here with over two dozen calculators. Each of the links is specific to a measureable quantity. Some examples include...

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...

Students observe Archimedes' principle in action in this challenge where a toy boat is placed in a container of water and a rock is placed on the floating boat. Students must explain why the water level rises/falls/stays the same based...

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

In this introductory lab activity, students will collect data that will graphically illustrate the relationship between mass and volume in determining the density in chemistry. Based on density, students will seek to determine a...

This lab was designed to allow students to collect data for the Force Gravity vs. Volume lab for materials and locations that we cannot do in the classroom. Students will fill the bucket to different levels and record the force on the...

The ideal gas law is presented and explained. The derivation of other gas laws is performed. Gas behavior is explained in terms of gas laws. Excellent graphics.

A very detailed look at the element Gallium, a member of the Boron Group.

A very detailed look at the element Indium, a member of the Boron Group.

A very detailed look at the element Thallium, a member of the Boron Group.

Explore and compare physical properties of substances.

In this activity, the students will discover the relationship between an object's mass and the amount of space it takes up (its volume). The students will learn about the concept of displacement and how an object can float if it...

Students act as chemical engineers and use LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics to record temperatures and learn about the three states of matter. Properties of matter can be measured in various ways, including volume, mass, density and...
