Radical Reactions
The radical reactions of polymers seems abstract to many pupils, but this lesson turns them into a fun building game. Scholars use dice and building pieces to build polymers. Then, they determine the theoretical and experimental weight...

Getting a Handle on Torque
Do your young physicists get a little unbalanced when it comes to talking about torque? Scholars examine the effects of weight and distance on a balanced system with a simple interactive from the Rotation and Balance series. The resource...

Can You Design and Construct a Better Candy Bag?
Bag the sweet resource for later use! Pupils learn about engineering design by developing a new, improved bag for candy from thin plastic sheets or from paper. The bags are to be visually appealing, but should also be functional. To...
Curated OER
Fractions, Decimals, and Gravity
Students discuss how weight is directly related to gravitational force on a planet. Students then choose Space Traveler as companion and compute how much their guide weighs on various planets, based on each planet's relative surface...
Curated OER
Conservation of Mass
Sixth graders discover the difference between weight and mass. In an experiment, they examine the Law of Conservation of Mass in action and discuss if a physical change causes a change in mass. They observe chemical and physical changes...
Cornell University
Buoyancy
Swimmers know to float by turning their bodies horizontally rather than vertically, but why does that make a difference? In an interesting lesson, scholars explore buoyancy and the properties of air and water. They test cups to see which...

Activity #6 'Nothing' Matters: A Demonstration
Learners observe the 'pouring' of a gas. They compare the masses (weights) and densities of two gases. Pupils define the following terms: matter, mass, and density. Students answer questions after watching the demonstration.
Curated OER
What's Poppin'?
Second graders determine and compare weights and volumes of popped and unpopped corn to make predictions and solve problems. Students combine the data of each group into a graph. They construct questions, statements and story problems...
McGraw Hill
Metric Units of Weight and Volume
Getting the right measurements can save a lot of time and money in the real world. Learners are introduced to unit conversion and how to accurately go from one unit to another. The first pages are notes and then the packet finishes with...
CK-12 Foundation
Horse and Cart
Can a horse pull more than its weight? A simple simulation answers this question and more. Pupils adjust the mass in a cart, the mass of the horse, the acceleration of the horse, and the angle of the tension rope between the horse and...
Curated OER
Seesaws
Students make direct comparisons between objects using balance and spring scales. They also are encouraged to estimate which object is heavier by holding the objects before using the balance scales. Comparing the masses of objects is the...
Curated OER
Guess Your Best
Students discuss situations when it is useful to know exact weight of object as opposed to estimated weight, estimate weight of various items, weigh them on scale using ounces and pounds, and compare their weights on Guess Your Best...
Curated OER
Measurement Problems
In this measurement worksheet, students determine how gravity affects your weight and mass on a different planet. Students practice converting measurements to different units. This worksheet has 12 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Weightlessness
Young scholars compare and contrast the terms "weight" and "mass". In this physics lesson, students observe an experiment in which objects are placed on a balance scale and weighed under different circumstances. Partners drop items and...
Curated OER
Underweight Canadians
Students explore body mass index, calculate theirs, compare theirs to Canadian guidelines, and discuss possible reasons for being underweight.
Curated OER
Gravity
Students explore gravitational force. Through experimentation, students observe the acceleration of objects when they fall. They examine air resistance, and how the human body is attracted to the earth. Students discover the...
Curated OER
Brain POP- Properties of Matter
In this properties of matter worksheet, students answer 18 questions about mass, density, volume or weight. All of the questions are multiple choice.
Curated OER
The "Laws" and Principles of Chemical Reactions
In this chemical reactions worksheet, students review the law of conservation of mass, the principle of definite proportions, and balancing equations. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Volume
Third graders complete scientific investigation to determine what volume is and how it is determined by size not by mass. They discuss what they know about volume before proceeding with the demonstration and experimentation. After the...
Curated OER
Gravity Exploration
In this space instructional activity, students complete each of the statements related to weight on the moon. Then they create three questions that could be answered after completing the lab activity.
Curated OER
Sum of the Parts
Fifth graders build objects using various materials. They estimate the weight of the object using individual building pieces. Then they weigh the actual object and then tear it apart and weigh the pieces. They compare the two weights.
Curated OER
Mass and Density of an Irregular Solid
In this physics learning exercise, high schoolers determine the density of irregular solids using water displacement method to complete 7 problems and short answer questions.
Curated OER
Supermarket Shopping
Students participate in studying that a kilogram is a standard unit of measurement. They measure practical objects using length, mass, and capacity. They measure a number of supermarket items using units and scales.
