Eighth graders determine the density of a sinker by first finding the mass and then the volume using a graduated cylinder. Students must write the procedure they use to find the volume of the sinker then apply their data to follow-up...

Twenty-four questions about matter, the states of matter and the properties of matter make up this interactive online worksheet. Your class will determine the volume of water, the shape of water and the shapes of matter.

Scientists state that the higher something is above the earth, the greater the gravitational potential energy. Does this mean there is more gravity acting on the moon than on an apple falling from a tree? Scholars adjust the distance...

In 2016, one in every four fatal car crashes listed speeding as a contributing factor. Pupils view videos of a car trying to come to a quick stop from four different rates of speed. They use context clues to measure and determine the...

Scientists discovered the first exoplanet in 1995 and by early 2018, they confirmed the existence of more than 3,700—that's a lot of data! As part of the PBS 9-12 Space series, scholars interpret data about exoplanets. They compare...

Classes will definitely not be sinking after a buoyant lesson! A project-based assessment helps highlight the importance of prior knowledge as individuals design a floatation device for a cell phone. They use their knowledge of chemical...

Learners measure objects effectively using standard units, They examine how consistency in the units used allows for easier and more accurate communication of mass measures.

Seventh graders investigate the relationship between energy and matter, and measure the mass of various objects. They listen to a teacher-led lecture about potential energy, and in small groups measure the mass of various objects such...

For this metric worksheet, students complete 28 different metric calculations consisting of density, volume, mass, length, temperature, and time.

Pupils list different uses for common scientific instruments. They identify appropriate instruments to measure length, temperature, and mass. Pupils are given a copy of the "Science Tools" task sheet, students place the correct number of...

Learners practice the 4 question strategy to form more questions and develop further experiments. The four questions are engage, explore, explain, and elaborate. They use the 4 question strategy on an investigation involving the mass...

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density lesson plan, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the objects over five...

Students measure the mass, volume, length and area of various objects. They are assigned a letter. The task is assesses students' abilities to make simple observations and measurements.

In this science worksheet, students complete a paragraph using 15 given terms. For example, "How can a spring be used to measure force?"

Young scholars discover a pattern to mysterious eggs made by their teacher. In this mass lesson, students must uncover a secret pattern given plastic eggs and a balance. Young scholars find the eggs have been created with a pattern...

Fifth graders determine volume and density through their knowledge of mass, volume and density.

In this properties of matter worksheet, students answer 18 questions about mass, density, volume or weight. All of the questions are multiple choice.

In this heat of combustion lab, students measure the heat of combustion for paraffin wax, butane, and cheetos. Students will apply the 1st law of thermodynamics to calculate the heat lost by the fuel and the heat gained by the water to...

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...

Twelfth graders examine different dimensions and units which go with a particular dimension. They explore the concept of linear measurement versus area. Students estimate area of 3-D objects. They practice converting from one unit of...

Ninth graders explore physics with springs and strings. In this force and motion lesson, 9th graders rotate through four stations exploring how various springs stretch and bounce, and how mass and length affect a pendulum's swing. They...

In this physics worksheet, students determine the density of irregular solids using water displacement method to complete 7 problems and short answer questions.

Students participate in a metric Olympics. For this metric measurement lesson, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.

In this properties of matter worksheet, students complete 18 fill in the blank questions about mass, density, volume or weight.
