In this properties of matter worksheet, students complete 18 fill in the blank questions about mass, density, volume or weight.

In this properties of matter worksheet, middle schoolers answer 18 questions about mass, density, volume or weight. All of the questions are multiple choice.

In this metric worksheet, students complete 28 different metric calculations consisting of density, volume, mass, length, temperature, and time.

Students discover how salt water makes a pencil float better than freshwater by measuring and comparing the lengths of the portion of the pencil that floats above the water surface. They then determine if an unknown water sample is...

In this physical world worksheet, students review concepts relating to the chemical and physical properties of matter, density of matter, and if matter is a solid, liquid, or gas. This worksheet has 9 terms in a word puzzle, 4 true or...

High schoolers conduct a variety of investigations to see how water, heat, and salinity affect the flow of the world's ocean currents,as well as, explore many factors that affect the flow of the world's ocean currents. They also describe...

Sixth graders explore ways to analyze the properties of water and examine the chemistry of water.  In this water activity students work in groups and complete several activities. 

Introduce your class to the concept of sinking and floating. In groups, they classify objects after making predictions about which materials will sink or float. They record their results and create graphs and charts to share with the class.

Oceanography experts use candy to construct a model of a bio-physical mooring that would test a variety of factors. Each piece of equipment to be included on the mooring is described within the write-up. As pupils gather the candies for...

Students investigate how the density of water changes the buoyancy of water. Students create a hypothesis about what will happen when placing the egg into the water.Students can research online different bodies of water (The Red Sea, The...

High schoolers study Archimedes' Principle, flotation and the reaction of buoyant forces and explain the relationship between density and flotation.

Students determine the volume of water in a given amount of snow. They calculate a ratio for water volume per snow volume.

In this geography worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle in reference to the geography of Europe. They identify the capital cities of various countries and the bodies of water which surround specific countries of Europe.

How do astronauts know how to live and work in a weightless environment? It doesn't come naturally! Junior physicists conduct experiments to examine the link between buoyancy and microgravity. Each activity illustrates a different aspect...

Learners conduct a series of experiments on water electrolysis. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explain what happens to the molecules during the process. They cite real world applications of electrolysis.

Students observe demonstrations that show adhesion, cohesion, equilibrium density, pressure of gases and solubility. In this gases lesson plan, students observe a demonstration of raisins, spaghetti, and popcorn moving up and down in...

Students explain how melting glaciers affect global warming. In this earth science instructional activity, students investigate the change in ice density as it melts. They discuss the human and environmental impact of rising sea levels.

Students experiment observing a demonstration on models of density-driven currents which are typically found in an estuarine system of water flow. They compare/contrast water temperature and salinity to the formations of estuarine currents.

Students examine the properties in oil in water. In this mixture lesson, students read about the Lophelia II 2010: Cold Seeps and Deep Reef Expedition and look at images of deep sea ecosystems. They experiment or participate in...

Some of these beautiful diagrams should help your students understand the connections between pressure and flight. Pressure and density are also discussed, and a number of links are included to give fantastic interactive examples of...

Insolubility and density? Yup, it's art class, of course. To create insoluble paintings that continually move and change, kids mix water-based paint with mineral oil and seal the mixture in laminating pouches.

Use the scientific method to experiment with an egg. Your class can examine buoyancy and density by finding how many spoons of salt are needed to float an egg. They can predict, experiment, record data, and analyze results.

Ice is nice, and its condition on the planet has a significant effect. Junior geoscientists experiment with ice melting in both water and on land to discover how each affect the rising sea level. This detailed lesson plan outline even...

Real world chemical reactions are used as examples for teaching stoichiometry. Viewers work through air bag inflation, fat conversion to water in a camel, rocket fuel combustion, and carbon dioxide removal in spacecraft. Make...
