Students define density as a relationship. Through experimentation, they explore the association between the mass and volume of pure substances. Students create a data plot and analyze the patterns between mass and volume. Students...

Students explore volume and pressure. Through an activity, students discover what happens in situations when volume is increased but no additional air is able to enter the enclosed space. Students create models and explain their...

High schoolers explain and use ideal gas law and use the law to solve problems. They use conversion factors to convert mass to mol. Also students use stoichiometry skills previously learned.

Students create a mobile of boxes and cubes that they made in a previous lesson that can be accessed from this page. They design the mobile using method that an engineer would use to balance the items based on surface areas and volumes.

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

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Students create a scale model to a castle using the dimensions they were given. They calculate the surface areas and volumes of each section of their castle.

First graders investigate the various forms of water. They discuss the properties of water. They discover examples of water's various states and locate other solids, liquids, and gases in their homes.

Students use an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the density various liquids. They take pictures of their results.

Students pour water into a "magic" box and examine how it comes out with a much larger volume of water. They, working in small groups, design a volume exchanger and explain its design to the whole class.

Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.

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

First graders participate in various activities dealing with measurement, length, volume, and temperature. They identify the need for standard units of measure, sort and classify objects, measure distances, and use a thermometer.

Students experiment to see how the solubility of a solid changes as water temperature changes. They graph the results of the solubility tests.

Investigate the concepts of area, volume, 3D shapes, and nets using this interactive Learn Alberta math. The solid shapes focused on this exploration include rectangular and triangular prisms, rectangular and triangular pyramids,...

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at surface area and volume and how math involved in the design of large inflatable shapes. The accompanying interactive component lets students investigate a variety of cylinders to get a...

Chem4Kids! provides an overview of the symbols representing numerical values in chemical equations. Each symbol is defined and described.

Observe how heating and cooling affect the density of water. Combine the concepts of temperature, molecular motion, and density to learn that hot water is less dense than room temperature water and that cold water is more dense.

This is an excellent interactive site which walks the student through the process of finding the maximum volume for a box given the length and width of a piece of cardboard. The site poses numerous multiple choice questions for the...

Students will investigate the relationship between surface area and volume and their application to the inner workings of real life organisms.

This site has an online experiment for testing the ideal gas law.

The Center for Mathematics and Science Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides an interesting and easy-to-use dictionary of the history and meaning of many measurement terms. Metric, International, and...

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte Chemistry Department provides slides 36-40 of this a 40-slide PowerPoint presentation. The site discuss real gases and the van der Waals equation of state. The explanation for why gas samples...

Use this lesson plan to help students learn about cylinders. Students will be creating cylinders, and comparing them and their capacity. This engaging, hands-on lesson will hold student interest and be very beneficial to student learning.
