Virtual Lab: Identifying the Unknown Metal (Metals Density Problem)
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...

Density
Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third instructional activity in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown...

Virtual Lab: Cola and Sucrose Concentration Problem
Recreate the secret Coca-Cola formula in a virtual lab. Young scholars create the solution and then calculate sucrose concentrations in terms of percent mass, molarity, molality, and mole fraction. Then using density, learners...

Thin Films
Combine mathematics and science to calculate measurements of unmeasurable materials. Individuals use knowledge of density and volume to determine the thickness of the film used in production. They also apply stoichiometry to...

Work and Power
Assist your class with correctly calculating the values for force, work, and power as they determine the amount various activities require. They gather data and participate in a group discussion to compare results upon conclusion of the...

Casting
Don't cast a great hands-on resource aside! Scholars learn about the process of casting by actually trying out an example. Plaster of Paris and cookie cutter molds help them complete the activity.
