Students investigate the volume of a solid.  In this calculus lesson, students use integration to find the volume of a solid generated by a region, the Orion crew module. 

In this density learning exercise, students read about density, volume and mass. They then use what they learned to answer the 8 questions on the page. The answers are on the last page.

In this finding the volume and surface area of rectangular prisms instructional activity, students observe the figures with their dimensions in centimeters and apply the formulas to solve. Students solve 3 problems.

In this burette-use instructional activity, students are given directions for titration using a burette. They practice reaching the end point of titrations and calculate the mean volume of three trials.

Students conduct an experiment about air volume, density, and pressure. In this air lesson, students discuss air, and how it moves. They make predictions about what will happen during the balloon and string experiment. They document the...

Students calculate the volume of polyhedrons. In this algebra lesson, students are asked to solve a complex problem. They identify the length of the edges and the volume of the shape.

In this music worksheet, students answer twenty questions about Mikrokosomos, Volume IV. For example, "What type of rhythms do the metallophones provide?"

In this cell reproduction worksheet, students will discover that when a cube doubles in size, the surface area grows by four times and the volume grows by eight times. Students will use this information to understand the limits to cell...

In this atmospheric carbon dioxide instructional activity, students use a graph of the Keeling Curve showing the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide since 1958 to solve 6 problems. They determine the rate of increase, the find the...

In this calculus worksheet, 12th graders determine the areas bounded by curves and the volume of the solids of revolution. The two page worksheet contains a combination of ten multiple choice and free response questions and is to be used...

Students determine the density of different substances. In this physical science lesson plan, students rank them according to their density. They discover the relationship between volume and density.

Although it was published in the year 2000, this chemistry assignment is ideal for practicing the application of Charles' law. There are seven real-world problems to solve, and plenty of space provided for doing so. Add this to your...

Learners define the terms "mass," "volume," and "density." The relationship between these three terms is established. They observe the differences between Regular and Diet Coke. They develop an hypotheses about why a can of Regular Coke...

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...

High schoolers identify various geometric shapes. Apply the given formulas to determine the volume of these shapes. Design their own container to conform to specifications provided. Use their knowledge of volume formulas and shapes to...

Provide your class some practice with the dimensions of geometric figures. Here you have a set of three different-shaped, stemmed drinking glasses with diameters and heights provided. Math-minded individuals calculate the volume of each....

Using helium as an example of propane, physical science middle schoolers experiment with and graph the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. In a whole-class demonstration, they show how molecules behave under different...

Investigators construct a makeshift balance and compare equal volumes of wax and water. They do the same for clay and water. Then they discover whether the wax and clay will float or sink in water. Ultimately this is a comparison of...

Explore various types of measurement with fourth graders. They will practice using balance pans to measure the weight of a coin and a graduated cylinder to determine the displacement volume for a bolt. The metric system will be the focus...

Groups rotate through a series of stations and work with a partner to observe sound waves. Children describe sound in terms of pitch, volume, and frequency. To apply their new knowledge, the class considers how these observations can...

High schoolers determine the linear equations of the density of water and oil by collecting data on the mass of various volumes of each liquid. They construct scatter plots from the data and use these to write the linear equations for...

This is the grown-up version of the classic "float an egg in salt water" experience, plus an experiment in soap making. High schoolers explore density, but more importantly, practice accuracy, precision, and the use of significant...

We all have standards and scientists are no exception. Presentation covers standard temperature, standard pressure, temperature conversions, and absolute zero. It explains pressure using pascals, mm of mercury, atmosphere, and torr, then...

Three simple activities kick off a unit investigation of density. Your physical scientists make observations on the volume and mass of wood, water, and rocks, and make comparisons. Though this is written for grades three through eight,...
