Curated OER
Are You a Trend Setter?
Learners are introduced to the periodic table of elements. They devise and perform and experiment in which they determine the density of specific elements. They use their results to predict the density of other elements in the same group.

Turn Up the Volume
Measuring volume can be a mystery for 5th graders, but this hands-on activity gives the gift of discovery. The volume of simple rectangular solids and irregular shapes are calculated through various methods including displacing liquid in...
Curated OER
Everybody Needs a Rock
Pupils describe and classify rocks that they have chosen. They estimate and find the mass of their rocks.
Curated OER
Give Me a Tall Ship
Sixth graders develop an understanding of floating, sinking, density, and buoyancy and apply it to the design of testing of ships.
Curated OER
What Floats Your Boat?
Students discover the Archimedes principle through a buoyancy experiment. They measure the water displacement of a lump a clay which is denser than water then reshape the clay into a bowl which floats but displaces more water.
Curated OER
Lung Limit
Students determine their lung capacity by completing a science experiment with a bottle of water. In this lung science instructional activity, students discuss the lungs' purpose. Students complete an experiment to determine their lung...
Curated OER
What is your lung?s capacity?
Students observe and determine what their lung capcity is. They fill a two-liter bottle completely with water and place the cap back on. Students fill a dishpan half full of water. They place the cap-end of the bottle into the water in...

Learning Lesson: Salt 'n Lighter
Students participate in a demonstration showing that as salinity increases density increases as well. They also examine the different densities of air. They discuss the amount of water displaced by large ships.
Curated OER
Buoyancy-Why Things Float
In this buoyancy worksheet, students read about the principles behind objects floating including density, buoyancy and Archimedes' Principle. Students complete a buoyancy lab where they use a balloon and water and a film canister and...
Curated OER
Density Challenge
Learners calculate the densities of several liquids that appear similar. In this physical science lesson, students go beyond understanding the way liquids of different densities behave to researching how this knowledge applies in...
Curated OER
What Floats Your Boat?
Students are introduced to the concept of buoyancy. The Video used in this lesson demonstrates and explains the characteristics of objects that sink and float. It presents the concepts of displacement, weight, and buoyancy.
Curated OER
Waterproof Paper
Students explore matter through the concept of displacement. They perforrm an inquiry experiment with a glass, paper and a bucket to demonstrate that gases take up space.
Curated OER
Cardboard Boat Challenge
Students build a boat out of cardboard and tape. They apply Archimedes' Principle to their design.

Chapter 16 Worksheet-Acids and Bases
In this acid and base instructional activity, students solve fourteen problems including finding the pH of solutions, calculating the hydronium and hydroxide ion concentration, naming substances and identifying if the are strong or weak...
Curated OER
Sinking and Floating
Learners examine why some objects float or sink. In this physics lesson, students engage in several mini-experiments which challenge them to draw their own conclusions regarding why certain objects sink or float. An example of one...

Creating the Ideal Cargo Boat
Students build boats out of clay to test the buoyancy of the boat in water. Students break into pairs and construct their boat to specific guide lines, then experiment with their boat in the water.
Curated OER
Densities
Students explore the concept of density. In this density lesson plan, students determine the density of a crown and a sample of clay. They hypothesize about the densities of 4 liquids they are given including molasses, cooking oil, a red...
Curated OER
Applied Science - Physics Pre-Lab
Young scholars observe fluid motion. In this Physics lesson, students explore the principles of Pascal, Archimedes, and Bernoulli. Young scholars list their experiences with fluid movement.
Curated OER
Displacement Reactions and Acid/Base Reactions
In this chemical reactions worksheet, students review the solubility rules for common salts. Students determine the molecular equation, ionic equation, and net ionic equation for specific reactions. Students calculate moles and volume...
Curated OER
Types of Reactions (Demonstration)
Learners visually observe chemical changes that occur when various solutions are combined. Teacher explains chemical reactions that are happening.
