Density Laboratory Gizmo
For this mass worksheet, students fill in a chart with different items and their volume, whether they float or sink, and their density. Students complete this for 10 items and answer 6 multiple choice mass questions.
Curated OER
Density Worksheet
In this chemistry activity, students identify and describe that density is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the volume of the substance at a given temperature. They also respond to various questions that refer to density in...
Curated OER
Density: Float or Sink
Learners discover density. In this density lesson, students discover the properties of objects that allow them to float or sink in water.
Curated OER
Stacking Water
Students experiment with different salinities of water using straws and different colors of water. They collect and interpret data from the experiment.
Curated OER
Sink It
Introduce your class to the concept of sinking and floating. In groups, they classify objects after making predictions about which materials will sink or float. They record their results and create graphs and charts to share with the class.
