Making Moon Craters
Create an egg-citing study of energy. Pupils investigate the effect of height and mass on the overall amount of energy of a falling object. The fourth segment in a six-part series on energy uses a weighted egg falling from different...
Curated OER
Unit V: Worksheet 2 - Constant Force
Physics learners studying force and acceleration practice solving eight problems with this assignment. They calculate acceleration and deceleration, net force, and distances required for stopping a moving object. Kinematics equations and...

All About Matter
Twenty-four questions about matter, the states of matter and the properties of matter make up this interactive online worksheet. Your class will determine the volume of water, the shape of water and the shapes of matter.
Purdue University
Designing a Device Utilizing a Balloon Filled with Carbon Dioxide
Don't waste all that carbon dioxide. Scholars first produce carbon dioxide by mixing baking soda and vinegar. They measure the masses of the reactants and products to verify the law of conservation of mass. As a culminating activity,...
Curated OER
Fractions, Decimals, and Gravity
Students discuss how weight is directly related to gravitational force on a planet. Students then choose Space Traveler as companion and compute how much their guide weighs on various planets, based on each planet's relative surface...
Cornell University
Buoyancy
Swimmers know to float by turning their bodies horizontally rather than vertically, but why does that make a difference? In an interesting lesson, scholars explore buoyancy and the properties of air and water. They test cups to see which...
Curated OER
What's Poppin'?
Second graders determine and compare weights and volumes of popped and unpopped corn to make predictions and solve problems. Students combine the data of each group into a graph. They construct questions, statements and story problems...
Curated OER
Mass and Density of an Irregular Solid
In this physics worksheet, students determine the density of irregular solids using water displacement method to complete 7 problems and short answer questions.
Curated OER
Spaced Out
The pupils are able to use a formula to calculate the volume of cuboids by measuring the length of each of the three dimensions. They also investigate the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters.
Curated OER
Mass and Weight in the Metric System
Students weigh and record the mass of various objects, and then compare the weights of objects by holding gram weights in one hand and the object in the other hand.
Curated OER
Volume
Third graders complete scientific investigation to determine what volume is and how it is determined by size not by mass. They discuss what they know about volume before proceeding with the demonstration and experimentation. After the...
Curated OER
Metric Olympic Games
Students participate in a metric Olympics. In this metric measurement instructional activity, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.
Curated OER
More Volume Please! Don't Be Dense!
Fifth graders determine volume and density through their knowledge of mass, volume and density.
Curated OER
Brain POP - Properties of Matter
In this properties of matter worksheet, students complete 18 fill in the blank questions about mass, density, volume or weight.
Curated OER
Underweight Canadians
Students explore body mass index, calculate theirs, compare theirs to Canadian guidelines, and discuss possible reasons for being underweight.
Curated OER
By Golly, By Gum
Students investigate the ingredients and creation of chewing gum. For this scientific method lesson, students make predictions about what will happen to the mass of a piece of gum as it is chewed by a human. Students graph...
Curated OER
Water Cycle Stories
Students explore the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students simulate the water cycle by placing an ice cube in a Ziploc bag and observing the changes which occur over time. Students record the mass of the Ziploc bag and record...
Curated OER
More Bait for Your Buck!
Students determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.
Curated OER
Heavy Ice: Day Five
Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density lesson plan, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the objects over five...
Curated OER
The Inertial Balance
Students weigh objects using a triple beam balance. For this mass lesson, students use an inertial balance made with a metal rod to measure and graph vibrations of varying numbers of pennies in a bucket. References and discussion prompts...
Curated OER
The Millikan L'Eggs Experiment
Students discover a pattern to mysterious eggs made by their teacher. In this mass instructional activity, students must uncover a secret pattern given plastic eggs and a balance. Students find the eggs have been created with a...
Curated OER
Dimensional Analysis
Twelfth graders examine different dimensions and units which go with a particular dimension. They explore the concept of linear measurement versus area. Students estimate area of 3-D objects. They practice converting from one unit of...
