Middle School Chemistry: Density of Water
Students discover the concept that density is a characteristic property of water by measuring the volume and mass of water and calculating its density.
Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
Serc: Density of a Penny
Students learn how to measure the volume and mass of an object and use that to compute density. They will then use that density to talk about experimental errors and accuracy of measurements.

Alex: Weight vs. Capacity
This lesson plan will introduce students to measuring weight, mass, volume, and capacity using metric and cutomary units. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama Math Teachers through the AMSTI project.
Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
Serc: Air Is Matter
It's difficult at times for younger young scholars to realize that air has mass. Matter is something that has volume (takes up space) and has mass (*can be weighed). Air does take up space, even if we can't see it, and air has weight,...

Serc: Newton's Second: Having a Ball With Motion
Students will create a gravity ball launcher to demonstrate their understanding of mass, force, momentum, and motion. The students will use critical thinking, measurement, and observation and analysis of data to make changes and improve...
Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
Serc: Investigating Motion: What Causes Objects to Move?
Young scholars will have an opportunity to determine what makes everyday objects move. Students will be given objects and asked to make predictions on how far each object will move after they blow on it. Then they will measure the...

Serc: Investigating Osmosis Using Water and Gummy Bears
In this biology classroom lab, students investigate the affect of soaking a Gummy Bear in water. They collect measurements of height, width, and mass before and after the soaking of the candy overnight. Students calculate % change for...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Air Resistance
Young scholars use the Motion Detector to measure the effect of air resistance on falling objects. They determine how air resistance and mass affect the terminal velocity of a falling object and then choose a force model that fits the data.
