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...

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

Young scholars will define density and use the density formula to determine the density, volume, and mass of various items using the correct units for each measurement.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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

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...

Explore and compare physical properties of substances.

Students use a tension-compression machine or an alternative bone-breaking setup to see how different bones fracture differently and with different amounts of force, depending on their body locations. Teams determine bone mass and...

Disappearing Wetlands: Explore the relationship between mass, density, and salinity by measuring the mass and volume of four saltwater solutions of increasing strength.
