This Illinois Institute of Technologysite provides a lab activity in which young scholars find the center of gravity of a box which has nonuniform weight distribution. Complete with directions and discussion questions; answers provided.

The causes and health risks of having excess weight are discussed in this informative site along with suggestions for loosing weight through diet, behavior modification exercise and surgery.

Specific gravity and density are defined and explained.

Balance the force of gravity with the force of the expanding gasses created by mixing baking soda and vinegar. Create a soda bottle submarine that sinks to the bottom of the bathtub and then rises back to the surface.

By choosing the mass, size, and time, students can experiment with whether the block floats or sinks in this simulation. Students have the option to display the forces and add a second block to the tank. Density is also shown to allow...

Manipulate the mass of a weight and the length of string in this interactive pendulum simulation. Change the speed, friction, and gravity to make the pendulum swing change as measurements are displayed on the screen. Younger students can...
