Students must design and conduct an experiment to determine which unknown liquid has a greater density based on basic information about the liquids and containers. Students are given specific materials to work with.

Students observe teacher demonstrations that illustrate density. In this density instructional activity, the teacher demonstrates how air bubbles in a carbonated drink can cause a raisin to float and how an egg sinks in fresh water, but...

In this properties of matter worksheet, students answer 18 questions about mass, density, volume or weight. All of the questions are multiple choice.

Students examine and discuss how atoms change from solid to liquid to gas. They inflate a balloon by melting ice that converts to steam, and discuss the results.

For this properties of matter worksheet, students complete 18 fill in the blank questions about mass, density, volume or weight.

Learners engage in a lesson that is concerned with the water cycle and different states of matter. They conduct research using a variety of resources in preparation for taking a quiz. Then students take the quiz in correlation to having...

Eighth graders practice using correct vocabulary and apply content knowledge related to phases of matter when answering questions about situations or observations from everyday life.

This open-ended boat building exercise is meant to be part of a three-lesson series on ships. Links to the other two lessons are included. This particular part is mostly a group lab activity in which they build a boat, find its load line...

Students use an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the density various liquids. They take pictures of their results.

Students 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.

Eighth graders determine the density using mass and volume. In this science lesson plan, 8th graders explain why some materials float or sink. They estimate the density of objects based on whether it floats or sinks in a liquid of...

Students end up learning the formula for density and calculate the densities of various materials, and predict if they sink or float.

Fourth graders calculate density, compare densities of solids and liquids, measure liquids using a balance, and investigate the significance of density. They conduct an experiment to determine an order of densities, and complete a...

This is a brief survey of the states and properties of matter directed toward upper elementary physical scientists. Solids and liquids are compared. Density and buoyancy are related. Use this presentation just prior to demonstrating...

Fifth graders complete a instructional activity which has them place a list of gases in order from the least to the most dense. The density in grams is given for each. There's a good paragraph which provides background knowledge about...

In this solutions worksheet, students identify solutes and solvents from a list of solutions and they draw water molecules bonding to each other. They fill in the blanks with terms related to bonding in solutions, density of solutions...

In this gases activity, students solve twenty problems using the gas laws and their understanding of the relationship between energy and temperature and energy and velocity.

Learners investigate buoyancy by participating in a lab experiment. In this density instructional activity, students utilize vinegar and alcohol in beakers and attempt to float different items in them. Learners analyze which items float...

Students analyze density. In this density lesson, students experiment with floating an egg. Students discover that salt added to water changes the density of the water allowing an egg to float.

In this physical world instructional activity, students review concepts relating to the chemical and physical properties of matter, density of matter, and if matter is a solid, liquid, or gas. This instructional activity has 9 terms in a...

In this chemistry review worksheet, students answer a variety of questions about matter, elements, the kinetic theory, chemical and physical properties and the distillation process. They complete a concept map about matter.

In this dimensional analysis worksheet, students solve six word problems using dimensional analysis to solve for an unknown. These include finding density, and converting from one unit to another. They also categorize samples as...

Students identify and complete activities about the structure of the Earth. In this Earth structure lesson, students view a Powerpoint about the Earth's layers and complete a diagram. students compare temperatures in the Earth's layers...

Eighth graders are actively involved in the scientific method and inquiry as they form quick hypotheses based upon a teacher set of mystery liquids. They determine the need to make additional observations of the liquids.
