Students will learn the concept of volume by determining the amount of sand that is needed to fill the long-jump pit at their school (or any rectangular- or square-shaped container). This lesson will explain the importance of knowing how...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Find out what mathematical function to perform when converting between particles and moles. Then answer one challenge question about the topic.

In this earth science lab, students will find, identify, and create a visual presentation of the rocks that are found around their school. They will determine the mass, volume, density, color, texture, and hypothesize what each rock is....

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers density and provides examples of density calculations.

Density is a ratio of the mass/people/things to volume/area. Given the density and one of the two quantities in the ratio, solve for the other quantity in the ratio.

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Density will be introduced to students by a demonstration of coke verses diet coke. The teacher will then solve density problems for the students on the board. The class will then complete a lab on...

Students will determine what an unknown substance is by finding mass, volume, displacement, and density of an object. Students will also create a report which will require them to read a graph, interpret data, calculate averages, and...

In this activity, students investigate the history of density, its uses, and applications. Students will generate and calculate data applying it to a graph. They will be looking at the relationship between mass and volume.

This learning module discusses the definition of matter and what mass and volume measure. Module includes pictures, videos, and review questions.

In this science inquiry, students investigate whether volume or density of objects determine the floating or sinking in water. Using a rock and a block of wood teachers engage students in the discussion of density, mass and volume.

In this demonstration, students will brainstorm to find a solution as to why Diet Coke floats and Coke sinks. Through this exercise students will arrive at a definition of density.

Students learn how to measure the volume and mass of an object and use that to compute density. They will then use that density to talk about experimental errors and accuracy of measurements.

Students will use two different methods to determine the densities of a variety of materials and objects. The first method involves direct measurement of the volumes of objects that have simple geometric shapes, while the second uses the...

In this lesson, students will investigate why the Cartesian diver dives and rises in a 2 liter bottle. They will also, through their own discovery, come up with a question and then change one variable and record their results. Students...

About how many cells are in the human body? The purpose of this task is for learners to apply the concepts of mass, volume, and density in a real-world context. Aligns with G-MG.A.2.

Discover atoms and molecules which make up matter, motion of atoms and how to measure the mass, volume and density of matter.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of density and how to calculate density.

Students investigate the relationship between density of an object, its mass and its volume. They use mass and volume measurements to determine the density of pennies. They compare the density of pre-1983 and post-1984 pennies.

Practice your density, mass, and volume calculations with these interactive review problems.

Use these word problems as a review in the areas of mass, density, and volume.

In this activity, the students will apply the concepts they learned regarding mass, volume and density in the previous activities to design a boat.

Students determine the mass and volume of soil samples and calculate the density of the soils. They use this information to determine the suitability of the soil to support a building foundation.

[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...

Why do hot air balloons float? This resource from the NOVA Web site offers a series of interactive activities that illustrates the physics of hot air balloons.
