Activity #4 The Density of Irregularly Shaped Solids
Students comrehend that water displacement is a simple way to measure the volume of a solid object. They pour water into a graduated cylinder or measuring cup and its volume is read and recorded. Pupils the volume of an object by...
Curated OER
Density and Mass
Students experiment to find which liquids are more dense. In this density and mass lesson, students predict and then test objects to observe and measure their density. students observe which items sink and float. Students complete...

What is Density?
Students explore physical science by conducting an in-class experiment. In this density instructional activity, students define vocabulary terms dealing with physics and discuss their knowledge of density. Students conduct several "sink...
Curated OER
A Matter of Density
In this density learning exercise, students use different liquid densities to determine the order they would settle in if poured in a container together. Students review vocabulary terms associated with the density of matter. This...
Curated OER
Pressure, Density and Buoyancy
Students investigate how changing pressure affects density. In this physics lesson plan, students explain the relationship between density and pressure. They observe the Cartesian diver in the lab as pressure is changed inside.
