DENSITIES OF REGULARLY SHAPED SOLIDS
Middle schoolers calculate the volumes of regularly shaped objects from measurements of their dimensions. They use several formulas and measure different objects to calculate the density, volume, and mass of the objects selected or...
Curated OER
Metric Mania Worksheet
In this metric activity, students complete 28 different metric calculations consisting of density, volume, mass, length, temperature, and time.
Curated OER
Density of the Human Body
In this density of the human body learning exercise, students measure several parts of the body to calculate the body volume. Students convert the body volume to body mass and body density.
Curated OER
Heavy Ice: Day Five
Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density lesson, 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 days...

In this properties of matter worksheet, students complete 18 fill in the blank questions about mass, density, volume or weight.
Curated OER
Density of Minerals
Young scholars determine the mass, volume, and density of two different mineral samples. Students show data and calculations as well as answer questions about the mineral identities.
Curated OER
Density Laboratory Gizmo
In this mass worksheet, students fill in a chart with different items and their volume, whether they float or sink, and their density. Students complete this for 10 items and answer 6 multiple choice mass questions.
Curated OER
Great Grams
Students measure objects effectively using standard units, They examine how consistency in the units used allows for easier and more accurate communication of mass measures.
Curated OER
Egg Drop Contest
Students explore volume with eggs. They design containers that can prevent eggs from breaking or cracking and test their containers with eggs to ensure that eggs will not crack or break. After ensuring their eggs will not crack or...
