Explanation of the differences between mass and weight.

A tutorial exploring the relationship between mass and weight. The tutorial also explains the difference between the concepts through pictures and examples.

Kids learn about mass and weight in the science of physics and the laws of motion including units and measurement. What is the difference between mass and weight?

In this student-paced module, students apply Newton's Laws of Motion to everyday life, calculate mathematical relationships involving force and motion using algebraic formulas, and understand the difference between mass and weight.

Use this interactive body mass index calculator to determine if your weight is under, over or normal for your size and read about things you can do to maintain a healthy weight.

This site gives an explanation that distinguishes mass from weight. It distinguishes between the two types of mass (inertial and gravitational), and gives the equations for computing both.

Students learn the difference between weight and mass. Practice problems are included to check for comprehension of the concept.

Lars in Antarctica needs help. Can you help him with all the months of the year and with mass?

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...

In this activity, students use a Dual Range Force Sensor to measure the weight of pennies. They understand the difference between mass and weight. Students also determine the difference in weight of an object on the moon, Mars, Saturn,...

Students explore the meaning of density and use their math skills to graph mass/volume data, write an equation for a line, and interpret the slope of the line. Students also find the density of two unknown mineral samples and use those...
