The Density of Liquids and Solids
There are underwater rivers that flow on the ocean floor thanks to a difference in density. Scholars learn about the density in both liquids and solids in the second lesson of an 11-part series. They then determine the density of water,...

Volume and Mass: Identify the Attribute
Students rotate through five studying stations related to the attributes of volume and mass. They manipulate objects to explore mass, compare two masses by pushing and lifting, pack materials and fill containers, and pour liquids from...
Curated OER
Elementary Exploration: Liquids
Students study the attributes of liquids. In this science exploration activity, students participate in a hands-on activity that requires them to examine the volume and shape of liquid.
Curated OER
Slosh, Dribble, and Plop
Students recognize the need for a standard unit of volume. They estimate and measure to the nearest liter. Also they relate the liter to the familiar everyday containers.

Density
Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third lesson in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown liquids. Each...

Mass Measurement
Middle schoolers explore geometry by completing a physics activity on-line. In this mass measurement lesson, pupils define the terms mass, volume, and density and identify their relationship with each other. They complete an on-line...

Measure Object Using English and Metric Systems
Students are able to measure various objects using English and metric systems within half of the smallest unit of the measurement device. Students identify units of length, volume, mass and temperature according to International System...
Curated OER
Density of Solids and Liquids
Students calculate the density of regular and irregular solids and liquids. They relate the term dense to science as well as its literal meaning that society uses it as everyday. A worksheet is completed on density.
Curated OER
Liquids of Different Densities
Students compare the densities of different liquids. In this liquids lesson plan, students compare color, viscosity, weight, volume, and graph their findings.
Curated OER
Unknown Liquids
Students must design and conduct an experiment to determine which unknown liquid has a greater density based on basic information about the liquids and containers. Students are given specific materials to work with.
Curated OER
Measuring With Fluids
Students investigate the concept of measurement for capacity and they use real containers to be filled of different sizes. Students use the scoops as the number of units for counting the capacity volume. Then they order the containers by...
Curated OER
Comparing Weights And Volumes
Students engage in a lesson that is focused upon the concept of weights and measures. They conduct experiments while classifying the quantities of different sized containers. Students compare and convert measurements like liters to...

Using Measurement in the Everyday World
Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...
Curated OER
Fill 'Er Up
Students identify how many smaller units can be found in a later unit. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and the transfer amount to a smaller unit. They solve real life problems using the formula for volume.
Curated OER
Down The Line
Learnersinvestigate three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, pupils calculate the volume of cylinders using the given dimensions. They create a formula base don observation before using the real formula.

What's the Matter with that Cup?
Fourth graders measure volume, circumference, and height of fast food cups, find which one has the greatest volume, and compare/contrast those measurements to discover any correlations between them.
American Chemical Society
Density of Water
We know solids have a density we can measure, but what about liquids? Lesson explores this concept and allows scholars to explore the relationship between volume and density. Graphing and analysis questions round out the activity.
Curated OER
"Space" Exploration
Fourth graders identify the attribute of volume of an object. Units of measurement are reviewed and utilized in this lesson.
