Students determine the density of metal shot by a graphical method using significant digits in making measurements and calculations. Students graph a seris of laboratory measurements and determine density from a mass verses volume graph.

Learners 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.

Students compare the densities of different liquids. In this liquids lesson plan, students compare color, viscosity, weight, volume, and graph their findings.

In this density worksheet, learners read a selection on density and answer 10 questions using the information from the selection.

For this chemistry worksheet, students identify and describe that density is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the volume of the substance at a given temperature. They also respond to various questions that refer to density in...

Students complete a variety of activities using pumpkins. They visit various stations with various pumpkin activities.

In this Cartesian diver lab, learners explain using text and diagrams how the Cartesian diver works. Students evaluate ways in making their lab design better. Learners make predictions of how changing the variable would change the...

Students consider the concept of ocean pollution. In this ocean lesson plan, students participate in a hands-on demonstration in order to replicate an oil spill and its effects on marine life.

In this earth science worksheet, students read a poem about the wind and learn why the wind blows. After reading the poem and informative paragraphs that follow it, kids answer 2 questions regarding the information they read. Finally,...

For this density worksheet, students explore an internet program called Gizmo where they do an experiment with density. Students complete 18 questions.

Students participate in a variety of experiments designed to illustrate types of heat transfer including conduction, convection and radiation. They complete worksheets as an assessment of the experiments.

In this vocabulary worksheet, students complete 10 problems where they do analogies, short answer questions, fill in the blanks, and more for the vocabulary words given including festered, dormant, grieve, and more.

Students identify and describe the building blocks that make up an atom. They also compare the ages of atoms to the ages of the materials they compose,as well as, give examples that illustrate the small size of atoms.

Seventh graders are given the opportunity to use model-building as a way to help comprehend the forces and phenomena at work in the world around them. They use both successful and unsuccessful models to make inferences, refine...

Students are divided into two teams in which its members are to gather as many objects in the pool as possible gaining points for different objects.

Students examine and identify the observable properties of coal. After a lecture/demo, students perform a simple experiment. They observe samples of coal and record data in an organized manner.

Students explore an estuarine system to gather data on density driven currents. This type of current is contrasted with temperature and wind driven currents.

Sixth graders experiment with the froth flotation process to extract metallic ore by using basic chemicals and equipment in the science classroom.

Young scholars read poem, "The Bridge," by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, discuss how they are connected to other human beings, both past and present, and create time capsules including their favorite memorabilia.

Students study the structure of the lungs. In this lung structure lesson plan, students use lung models to study the structure of lungs and experiment to measure the amount of air in the lungs.

In this experiment, you test whether two different bowling balls will float or sink, then determine the density of each of the balls to see if they are less than that of water.

A activity where students learn how warm water is less dense than cold water, and what this means for global climate change as ice from the polar regions melts. Students will do experiments in buoyancy and water density when hot or cold,...

Sixth graders predict if different types of coke will float or sink.

For this activity, students investigate whether objects and liquids float or sink when placed in water. As they proceed, they will develop an understanding of what density is. Student handouts are provided.
