The first golf balls were made of wood and would only last for a few games. Modern golf balls last a lot longer but they don't float. The presentation provides the directions for a lab to determine the minimum amount of salt needed to...

If you have a set of six various metal rods, you can use this lab activity to challenge science students to calculate their densities. They will use a triple beam balance to measure the mass and the micrometer and ruler determine the...

In this density activity, students measure the mass and volume of assigned objects and calculate the density. They then find the mass and volume of two objects given their densities and volume and mass respectively.

Through a station rotation activity, scientists complete 9 chemistry activities to complete this interactive worksheet. Concepts include molar masses, percent composition, accuracy vs. precision, mass of an object, scientific notation,...

A metal's density could be considered its fingerprint! A virtual lab activity has learners calculate the density of a sample of metal to make its identification. The simulation allows individuals to perform the measurements as if they...

In this measuring chemicals instructional activity, students investigate measurements of an aluminum slab including the length, width, height, mass, volume and density. They do the same for a piece of aluminum foil and they compare...

All 20 of the problems on the worksheet involve the computation of cubic volume or density. As long as your young scientists can apply the appropriate mathematical formulas, they will succeed in solving these problems. They are not...

Even though this assignment is brought to you by Physics Lab Online, it is best used as a math practice. Middle schoolers calculate the range, mean, mode, and median for a list of eight different paper clip densities. They analyze...

Some background information about density and Newton's Laws of gravitation and motion assist pupils in the following experiment. The procedure will help them further their understanding of gravity, pendulums, and a drop-ball experiment....

In this biology learning exercise, students use the website given to become familiar with the equipment of a lab. The activity involves a link to a virtual laboratory. Then they determine an objects mass and volume by placing it in a...

All soil is not created equal! A lab activity asks learners to collect and analyze soil. Specific calculations determine the amount of sand, silt, and clay in a sample and allow individuals to identify the soil texture. 

In this density of pennies worksheet, student conduct an experiment to determine the metals used in the core of pennies made after 1983. Learners design their own experiments using a balance and graph paper to determine the density of...

This lab activity does not have to be done with AP environmental scientists. It can also be done with middle to high school earth scientists. The procedures aren't complex. Learners determine the density of dry and wet sand in order to...

Let there be light. The last installment of a seven-part series has pupils conduct an experiment on light attenuation through different numbers of transparency sheets. They then relate the results back to how X-rays measure bone density.

In this measurement worksheet, high schoolers read about accuracy of measurements as compared to the precision of measurements. Students answer four precision problems and solve four accuracy problems.

Snow, ice, and water are all composed of H2O. Does that mean they all have the same volume? Discover the ways that the densities of these substances determine their volumes, and how they change based on their current states of...

What is the difference between accuracy and precision? This worksheet has students define the terms accuracy and precision, and compare bulleye diagrams to find examples of both. Students analyze given data and determine the accuracy and...

In this salinity worksheet, students simulate conditions of salt and fresh water mixing and observe the various densities of these solutions based on their salinity.

Did you know many insects use cohesion or surface tension to walk on water? Using a presentation, scholars learn the more important properties of water. It extends into the concepts of solutions, suspensions, pH, and more.

In this viscosity and density pre-lab activity, students define these two terms and determine how to find relative viscosity and the volume of an irregular shaped solid. This activity has 13 short answer questions.

In this science instructional activity, students use the diatoms present in water in order to test water quality and perform data collection and interpretation.

In this math/science worksheet, students find the balance point of a variety of objects, and complete ten problems. Students look at sketches of objects and calculate the balance point, and also use meter sticks and weights. This is an...

Measure and compare the heat capacity of an unknown liquid with an unknown density.
