In this density graph worksheet, students graph data displayed in a chart. Students also calculate the density of each metal shown in the graph. Students answer questions about which detail is more dense.

In this density worksheet, high schoolers review this property of matter and the mathematical equations for density, mass, and volume. The worksheet has 10 fill in the blank statements and 3 word problems.

Third graders examine the non-standard method of measurement and compare it to the metric system of measurement. In this introductory module lesson, 3rd graders discover the scientific observation. Students also develop communication...

Students find the density of two substances. In this density lesson plan, students determine the density of water and ethyl alcohol and compare their densities. They enter their data into the computer to produce a class compiled graph....

Stir chocolate drink mix into hot and cold water to see if there is a difference in how quickly it dissolves. Number three in a six-lesson unit on dissolving, this installment investigates the effect of temperature. If you consult the...

Students use descriptive vocabulary to discuss the attributes of matter. Then, they sort objects or pictures by the type of matter they are comprised of. Finally, students match objects of matter with similar attributes and create a...

In this solubility worksheet, students conduct an experiment to see how temperature effects the solubility of salt in water. Students record their data in a chart and then graph the results. Then students complete 2 short answer questions.

Learners demonstrate the three states of matter. In this matter lesson plan, students read Bartholomew and the Ooblek. Learners create "ooblek" and discuss what state of matter it is.

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...

Students investigate the properties of matter. In this properties of matter lesson, students observe containers of different metals and discuss their properties including density. Students find the density of an unknown metal and of...

Students investigate density and salinity of water. In this density and salinity lesson plan, students find the density of objects and liquids and show the relationship between the salinity and density of water. Students add salt to...

Learners identify the physical and chemical properties of matter. They review the types of matter. Students list the four states of matter (Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma). They recognize and describe the different types of matter.

Young scholars investigate how friction affects the movement of a block across surface areas. They test five different kinds of surfaces—smooth surface, wax paper, a paper towel, course, and fine sandpaper. They predict and record the...

In this classification of matter learning exercise, students answer 15 questions about solids, liquids and gases, types of mixtures and compounds vs. elements. They also answer 2 questions about measurement and 1 question about a biome.

Learners solve 14 word problems and 25 weight conversions.

Watch the damage from a forest fire in this interactive simulation activity that challenges learners to estimate the burn area using different approaches. Learners are given a worksheet to track the different burn patterns and practice...

In this spherical tanks and fuel level worksheet, students are given a diagram showing the effects of gravity or acceleration on the level of fuel in a spherical tank. Students solve 3 problems including finding the general formula for...

In this absolute zero worksheet, students experiment with a closed-end syringe and a ice bath and boiling water. They record volumes of gases in the syringe as well as temperatures of the water and they plot their experimental data. They...

Using helium as an example of propane, physical science middle schoolers experiment with and graph the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. In a whole-class demonstration, they show how molecules behave under different...

Students calculate the densities of several liquids that appear similar.  In this physical science lesson, students go beyond understanding the way liquids of different densities behave to researching how this knowledge applies in...

Learners identify the stages of the water cycle. They listen to the book "Magic School Bus: Wet All Over," examine the Build Your Own Water Cycle website, predict and measure the amount of water in a jar for a week, and read a short play...

Students investigate mass-mass relationships in the lab. In this mass-mass relationship lesson plan, students mix sodium carbonate with hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride, water and carbon dioxide. Students use the amount of...

You won't get a stomachache doing an investigative experiment. Pupils simulate the effect of antacids on stomach acid. Obviously, they won't be using real stomach acid; diluted hydrochloric acid serves this purpose.

In this density worksheet, students review how to calculate density and how to apply Archimedes' Principle, Boyle's Law, and Charles' Law. This worksheet has 10 matching, 13 short answer, and 6 fill in the blank questions.
