Causal Patterns in Density Phenomena

Oceanography observers keep current on how currents form in the ocean. In this demonstration, they will see how denser water, whether it is caused by the addition of salt or cooling of temperature, sinks. The title of the handout...

Why are the properties of the water important when exploring the ocean? Young scientists discover the tools and technology used in deep sea exploration in the fourth installment in a five-part series. Groups work together to examine...

This dnsity lab worksheet asks students to perform an experiment which allows them to calculate the density of 4 objects. Students record their data, and identify a pattern between the objects. This would be a great experiment to do as a...

The phenomena observed in the behavior of waves and data received from seismographs can lead us to various conclusions about the densities of material that waves are passing through.

Students investigate the relationship between volume and mass in different liquids such as vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol and water. They measure the mass of several different volumes of each liquid and then graph the results as well as...

Students investigate the effects of differences in air pressure on a system. They answer the question, "What makes a liquid go up a straw when you suck on it?".

Students investigate the concept of density by observing demonstrations. In this density lesson plan, students make observations while the teacher demonstrates the Cartesian diver, a density column, a candle trough, a wave bottle, an...

Andree Walker thought of everything when he wrote this resource. It includes a detailed list of materials and background information links for the teacher. In addition, it has procedures, a macroinvertebrate identification key, and tally...

Experiment with mass and density as scholars figure out what makes things float or sink. First, they watch a podcast introducing these concepts. Be sure to use the comprehension question to test their understanding. Young scientists...

Upper graders explore features that exemplify effective graphing. In this graphing lesson, learners create criteria for informative graph components. They gather and enter data, create a graph by hand or on the computer, and write an...
