This lesson offers an interesting, hands-on experience for middle school students studying cylinders. Students will create cylinders, and measure and compare their volumes.

One piece of Play-Doh can make many different shapes. Even though you can change the shape by squishing or stretching the Play-Doh, it is still the same size unless you add or take away some of the dough. Try this experiment to test how...

Geometry is the study of how to use math to describe and investigate different points, lines and shapes. The way that a shape is described in geometry is with a formula, which is simply a mathematical way to calculate different...

Expanding gases are everywhere, from the kitchen to the cosmos. You've tasted their pleasures every time you've eaten a slice of bread, bitten into a cookie, or sipped a glass of soda. In this chemistry science fair project, you'll...

This simulation lets you see sound waves. Adjust the frequency or volume and you can see and hear how the wave changes. Move the listener around and hear what she hears.

In this earth science lab, students will find, identify, and create a visual presentation of the rocks that are found around their school. They will determine the mass, volume, density, color, texture, and hypothesize what each rock is....

For this investigation, students will observe and experiment with how sounds are made. They will use various elementary music instruments as well as tuning forks, combs, rubber bands, books, bottles, etc. They will collect data on how...

In this lesson, students will investigate why the Cartesian diver dives and rises in a 2 liter bottle. They will also, through their own discovery, come up with a question and then change one variable and record their results. Students...

Students will determine what an unknown substance is by finding mass, volume, displacement, and density of an object. Students will also create a report which will require them to read a graph, interpret data, calculate averages, and...

In this project, you will make 2-dimensional templates, called nets, that fold up into 3-dimensional (3-D) shapes. By making shapes of different sizes, you will be able to see how 3-D shapes change with size. In your findings you will...

This site resource offers tutorials on the gas laws, balancing chemical equations, and quantum mechanics.

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of concepts of volume and its attributes to solve problems with rectangular prisms.

This task challenges students to demonstrate understanding of area, surface area and volume.

In this lesson learners investigate and compare the amount of water in an orange and an apple. Student sheets are provided in English and in Spanish.

Use your knowledge of volume and weight to solve this posed problem of finding the weight of a glass in a door.

Is summer close yet? Think about this yummy ice cream treat in a mathematical way! A problem of volume is posed for an ice cream cone.

What determines the concentration of a solution? Learn about the relationships between moles, liters, and molarity by adjusting the amount of solute and solution volume. Change solutes to compare different chemical compounds in water.

Students gather data from two mystery liquids to explore linear functions. Printable lesson plan.

Students rotate from station to station completing activities involving measurement weight, length, and volume using metric measurement.

An interactive simulation that teaches about density, mass, and volume through explorations of mass and volume with different objects. This simulation can either be downloaded or played online and includes handouts, lesson plans, and...

This site is a wonderful exercise for students with a Calculus base. The site gives an interactive drawing of a vase where the measurements of the diameter of the vase are at any point. The student then finds the volume using calculus....

A detailed set of tasks for investigating the volume of prisms and pyramids.

Use these calculator tools to find the volume, in your choice of units, of a sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism, capsule, ball cap, conical frustum, ellipsoid, or square pyramid. Includes a reference section listing formulas...

This is the definitive source for information on SI base units, derived units, squares, cubes, luminosity, field strength and flux density.
