Curated OER
Density Columns
Eighth graders create solutions with 5 different densities. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders analyze the density of solutions stacked on top of each other. They document their data through graphing. This assignment requires 4 class...
Curated OER
Soil Comparison and Analysis
Students perform tests on different soil samples. In this earth science lesson, students classify the soil into groups according to test results. They write a lab report following a certain criteria.
Curated OER
Laboratory - Density of a Material
Students conduct a lab (with water, guar gum and sodium borate) and carefully record physical and chemical properties and changes throughout the session, and experiment with weighing by difference.
Curated OER
Permeability of Earth Materials
Students observe and classify the permeability of a variety of materials.
Curated OER
Density of a Gas
Eighth graders investigate the mass, volume, and density of a gas by producing it in a chemical reaction. The entire Density of a Gas Lab and L section of the K W L chart be formatively assessed.
Curated OER
Selecting Soil Organisms in Compost
Learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate that many of the enzyme systems needed to break down society's wastes exist in nature among the decomposers in a compost pile. They culture compost bacteria on starch agar to examine the...
Curated OER
Selecting Soil Organisms in Compost
Students demonstrate that many of the enzyme systems needed to break down--and therefore clean up-society's wastes already exist in nature among the decomposers. They select the best starch-munching organisms by altering the environment...
Curated OER
Towel Testing
Students examine how to design and implement experiments. In this paper towel experiment lesson plan students test the strength of paper towels.
Curated OER
Metric Mania Worksheet
In this metric worksheet, learners complete 28 different metric calculations consisting of density, volume, mass, length, temperature, and time.
Curated OER
Robo-Pull
Pupils solve linear equations using two steps. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve linear equations. They apply concepts of equations to a robot pulling cargo.
Curated OER
To Float or Not to Float - A Lesson on Density
Students define density in their own words. In this physics instructional activity, students calculate density using mass and volume. They explain why some objects sink and some float.
Curated OER
How Dense Are You?
Students examine how density is a value that describes what type of a material an object is made of regardless of its shape or size.
Curated OER
Testing Termites to Discover
Middle schoolers design an experiment to discover how termites respond to their environment.
