Curated OER
Egg Measurement
Students explore measurement and units. They measure eggs to determine their density, mass and percent composition. An inquiry approach is used for students to ascertain the mass.
Curated OER
Ring Around the Rosie
Students work together to discover the concept of angular momentum. They participate in experiments in which they test rotation and relate it to an object's mass. They participate in a literacy activity in which they compare mythology...

Galapagos Rift Expedition Come On Down!
Students research the development and implementation of a research vessel/vehicle used for deep ocean exploration. For this oceanography lesson, students calculate the density of objects by determining the mass and volume.
Curated OER
Popcorn Neutrino Lab
Students parcticipate in a modeling activity that simulates the cyclical role of experimental and theoretical science. Initially, students measure the mass of popcorn. They also record predictions of the mass of the kernels after they...
Curated OER
Density Lab
High schoolers use an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the density various liquids. They take pictures of their results.
Curated OER
Mass Matters
Fourth graders, in pairs, explore the relationship between a star's life and its mass. They use a concept map to illustration the three categories of stars.
Curated OER
Nature of Game Balls
Fourth graders see how, when balls are dropped from the same height, mass and size affects the motion of the balls.
Curated OER
Rockets
Students explain the basics of rocketry and explain the relationships between mass, acceleration, and thrust.
Curated OER
Laboratory - Density of a Material
Young scholars conduct a lab (with water, guar gum and sodium borate) and carefully record physical and chemical properties and changes throughout the session, and experiment with weighing by difference.
Curated OER
Propulsion Pop!
Learners demonstrate an understanding of the text by completing a propulsion activity, charting the results, and answering questions that demonstrate an understanding of rocket propulsion.
