Students define density in their own words. In this physics lesson, students calculate density using mass and volume. They explain why some objects sink and some float.

Students create a piston/cylinder assembly using SolidWorks. In this technology lesson, students calculate volume, pressure and Boyle's law constant. They simulate equalizing air pressure by moving the piston out of the cylinder.

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.

Learners determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  In this pennies lesson plan, students work in groups to determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  They compute the probability of the head of a pin...

In this cylinder worksheet, students answer ten multiple choice questions covering lateral area, volume, and surface area.  The solutions are available by clicking on the "grade and submit" button found on the bottom left of the page.

In this Geometry Chapter 13 review worksheet, students complete 20 multiple choice questions and 1 bonus question regarding volume, dilation, and midpoint and distance between points of 3D objects.

In this math instructional activity, students describe how to define surface area given a variety of situations from word problems. They solve for the volume using calculus.

Learners are challenged to determine values that are guaranteed by the mean value theorem. They sketch the graph of a function and show that it satisfies the conditions of the mean value theorem over a given interval. Students determine...

Students practice determining liquid densities in a short, hands-on lab activity. Students use a graduated cylinder to measure out 100 milliliters of a liquid, find its mass using a balance, and record measurements in a data table....

Young scholars divide into groups of three or four, elect in their group who they think has the biggest mouth. This question will be followed by Mrs. Peters' joke about big mouths and frogs. Students then be asked how they could prove to...

Second graders, in groups, measure the volume of four containers that vary in shape and size.

Students research the development and implementation of a research vessel/vehicle used for deep ocean exploration. In this oceanography activity, students calculate the density of objects by determining the mass and volume.

In this significant figure worksheet, students read six diagrams of a graduated cylinder to the proper number of significant figures. They then go to twelve lab stations and record the proper measurement to the appropriate number of...

In this maximum and minimum worksheet, students solve and complete 10 various types of word problems. First, they find the numbers if the product of the square of one of the numbers with the cube of the other number is to be a maximum....

Students investigate moles and Avogadro's hypothesis. In this moles lesson plan, students complete a worksheet by finding the volume of 1 mole of each substance given its density and they find the number of molecules, the formula, the...

In this solid rocket boosters activity, students solve 2 problems using a grid showing a cross section of a proposed solid rocket booster. Students complete the grid and shade the rings of combustion in 15-second step intervals. They...

Learners define vocabulary related to geometry and calculate the volume. In this geometry lesson, students calculate flow rates, and volume as it relates to a water plant facility. They calculate the volume of three dimensional shapes...

Students develop a comprehension of parts per million as a concept. They work in teams to create successive dilutions of a solution to reach a parts-per-million concentration. Students list what they think the atmosphere is made of. They...

Students investigate inhalation and exhalation of the respiratory system. They construct a model of the respiratory system using balloons, straws, cups, and rubber bands. Then, they observe inhalation and exhalation and measure the...

Young scholars determine the density and thickness of a piece of aluminum foil. In this density and thickness of materials lesson plan, students experimentally find the density of a piece of aluminum foil and compare it to the...

In this geometry worksheet, high schoolers solve for the volume or surface area of cones and cylinders given the radius, diameter, or height. There are 25 questions.

Students study the attributes of liquids. In this science exploration lesson, students participate in a hands-on activity that requires them to examine the volume and shape of liquid.

Fourth graders measure volume, circumference, and height of fast food cups, find which one has the greatest volume, and compare/contrast those measurements to discover any correlations between them.

Students participate in Density Discoveries, which is a hands-on learning opportunity for students to find the mass, volume, and density of solid matter.
