Displacement of fluids
Students understand the meaning of volume. In this displacement of liquid lesson, students experiment with various weights and a balance scale to find the liquid displaced.
Curated OER
The Three States of Matter
Young scholars explore the three states of matter. In this physics lesson, students are shown examples of solids, liquids, and gases. Young scholars make cookies and identify the three states of matter during the baking process.
Curated OER
Volume of Irregular Objects
Fifth graders experiment using a Meniscus. In this volume lesson, 5th graders identify the volume of irregular objects using the process of water displacement. Students record data and draw conclusions.

Introduction to Density
Seventh grade scientists weigh in on the concept of density. In a nutshell, they participate in the following activities:
Measurement of the mass and volume of fruit in order to compare densities
Measurement of the mass of oil and water...
Curated OER
"Space" Exploration
Fourth graders identify the attribute of volume of an object. Units of measurement are reviewed and utilized in this lesson.

Density Column Lab - Part 2
Groups suspend objects within layers of liquids to determine the densities of different liquids and compare them to the densities of objects calculated in Part 1. The groups then carefully test their calculations by layering the...
Curated OER
Liquids of Different Densities
Young scholars compare the densities of different liquids. For this liquids lesson plan, students compare color, viscosity, weight, volume, and graph their findings.
Curated OER
Demonstrating the Kinds of Energy
Students experiment with inner tubes, weights, flasks, and pistons to demonstrate the gas laws. In this molecular motion lesson, students demonstrate pressure as a force per area. They conduct an experiment to show the relationship...
Curated OER
Measuring With Graduated Cylinders
Students explore measuring with a graduated cylinder. For this measurement lesson, students observe liquids in a beaker. Students predict the volume of liquid in the beaker and then transfer the liquid to a graduated cylinder. Students...
Curated OER
As a Matter of Fact!
Students explore matter. They use a formula to measure the volume of matter.
Curated OER
Water Displacement to Determine Volume
Sixth graders explore the water displacement method to determine the volume of solid objects such as rocks, nails, and marbles.
Curated OER
Causal Patterns in Density Phenomena
Students investigate the relationship between volume and mass in different liquids such as vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol and water. They measure the mass of several different volumes of each liquid and then graph the results as well as...
Curated OER
Metric Mania
In this metric system instructional activity, students convert measurements of volume from the English system of measurement to the metric system. They also convert within the metric system and answer questions about volume measurements.
