In this comet learning exercise, students will read information about the Comet Halley that has been collected by recent space probes. Students will use this information to complete 7 short answer questions.

This problem-solving activity demonstrates the concepts of mass, volume, and density and how they relate to displacement.

This website provides explanations of mass, weight, and density with directions for building simple scales and balances. Provided as encouragement to teach these concepts to young children, it offers a good review for older students.

In this activity you will: Model data using a linear equation; interpret the slope and intercept values from a linear model; identify a characteristic property of a substance; and examine the relationship between mass, volume, and density.

[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.

Students discover the concept that density is a characteristic property of water by measuring the volume and mass of water and calculating its density.

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

[Free Registration/Login Required] Find out what mathematical function should be performed in order to move from mass to moles and back again. After the activity, answer one multiple choice, challenge question about the topic.

An interactive simulation that teaches about density, mass, and volume through explorations of mass and volume with different objects. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and...

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 first part of a two-part lab activity, students use triple balance beams and graduated cylinders to take measurements and calculate the densities of several common, irregularly shaped objects with the purpose to resolve confusion...

[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...

This tutorial is an explanation of the properties of density.

Instructional module focusing on density as a physical property of matter. Discussion incorporates historical references as well as formulas. Site also includes an interactive practice quiz and links relating to the topic.

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

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...

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...

Calculate the density of cubes made of different materials to determine what type of material it contains. Using this information explain that the size, mass, and arrangement of the atoms or molecules of a substance determines its density.

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.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define density, calculate the mass of a reservoir from its density, and compare and contrast the densities of various substances.

The density triangle is a memory tool to help students remember the formula for density, D = M / V, and its variations.

This investigation introduces the concepts of volume, mass, and density and how they interact. Students will make predictions of whether an object will float or sink after finding mass and volume of an object.

Use water displacement and a mass balance to determine the density of various objects in this interactive simulation.

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.
