Students explain the physical properties of matter. They, in groups, perform a variety of experiments, each demonstrating a different property of matter. A very nice, hands-on lesson plan!

For this chemistry worksheet, students use the periodic table of elements in order to identify the common elements. The detail is very detailed.

Learners listen to story, "The 100-Pound Problem," compare their weight with character in story, and weigh different classroom items using nonstandard units and standard units. They experiment with different items that can make scale...

In this body fat measurement learning exercise, students will conduct an experiment to determine how the "under-water weighing" technique of measuring body fat works. Once the experiment is complete, students will complete 1 short answer...

Students design a flower-pot and saucer. In this math lesson plan, students incorporate the use of technology to correctly build and shape a flower pot. They calculate the necessary mass of the red clay used to make the pot.

In this chemistry worksheet, students solve 47 problems involving measurement conversions from one unit to another. They explain how values should be reported from measurements.

Middle schoolers investigate which brand of chocolate chip cookies contains the most chocolate. They analyze and compare data using Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. They communicate the results with Microsoft PowerPoint.

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...

Ninth graders conduct an experiment demonstrating what happens when a train hits a car using easily accessible materials. They calculate momentum, velocity, and distance using the appropriate formulas. Then they write an incident report...

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

For this redox reaction worksheet, high schoolers perform a redox titration to determine the number of iodide ions that react with each mole of iodate (V) ions in a solution. They calculate their answer using a given equation.

Fourth graders conduct experiments to identify the center of gravity. For this gravity lesson, 4th graders do two hands-on experiments to increase their understanding of this concept. This self-discovery lesson provides students with the...

Clay's as good a material as any to build a boat, right? An introductory lesson plan sets the stage for two activities associated with buoyancy. The first involves building boats out of clay, while the second uses these boats to measure...

In this student-paced module, students apply Newton's Laws of Motion to everyday life, calculate mathematical relationships involving force and motion using algebraic formulas, and understand the difference between mass and weight.

A tutorial exploring the relationship between mass and weight. The tutorial also explains the difference between the concepts through pictures and examples.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of weight and how to calculate the weight of an object.

This learning module discusses the definition of matter and what mass and volume measure. Module includes pictures, videos, and review questions.

Tutorial explains isotopes, atomic weight and how isotopes can be detected using mass spectrometry. Examples are given.

Why do hot air balloons float? This resource from the NOVA Web site offers a series of interactive activities that illustrates the physics of hot air balloons.

Join Maria and Boris the Astronaut in their journey. Learn about mass, weight, and gravity in space.

A video and a short quiz on the properties of matter, covering mass, density, weight, and volume.

In this lesson, students will investigate why the Cartesian diver dives and rises in a 2 liter bottle. They will also, through their own discovery, come up with a question and then change one variable and record their results. Students...

This article on weight will help you prepare for the AP Physics test. Included are example problems to help you practice.

Hang various mass weights on spring scales while you adjust the spring stiffness and damping in this online activity. Slow down the action, take it to another planet, or watch the amount of potential, thermal, and kinetic energy.
