i-Density Crisis
Eighth graders determine the density using mass and volume. In this science lesson, 8th graders explain why some materials float or sink. They estimate the density of objects based on whether it floats or sinks in a liquid of known...
Curated OER
Denser Sensor
Fourth graders calculate density, compare densities of solids and liquids, measure liquids using a balance, and investigate the significance of density.  They conduct an experiment to determine an order of densities, and complete a...

Density Review
For this density worksheet, students review how to calculate density and how to apply Archimedes' Principle, Boyle's Law, and Charles' Law. This worksheet has 10 matching, 13 short answer, and 6 fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
It Matters
Young scholars use descriptive vocabulary to discuss the attributes of matter.  Then, they sort objects or pictures by the type of matter they are comprised of.  Finally, students match objects of matter with similar attributes and...

Atmosphere
Earth's atmosphere is full of different energies, from thermal to wind to electromagnetic radiation. Through the presentation, class members discover these energies and how they determine weather patterns.
Curated OER
Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter
Students identify the physical and chemical properties of matter.  They review the types of matter.  Students list the four states of matter (Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma).  They recognize and describe the different types of matter.

Volumw Measurement, English System
Eighth graders biew each volume container and discuss where they have seen them in their home, and how they have seen them used.  They explore the different names of volume sizes and their equivalents towards one another.  Students...
Curated OER
Making Sense of Density
Students identify the concepts of density, mass, and volume that define the property of a substance. They also determine that the properties of materials, such as, density and volume, can be compared and measured by using rulers,...
Curated OER
Egg Measurement
Learners 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.

Heavy Ice: Day Five
Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density lesson, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the objects over five days...
Curated OER
Water and Ice
Students observe what happens to water as it goes from a solid to a liquid.  In this exploratory lesson students gain an understanding for the water cycle while working in groups observing what happens to water as it changes...
Curated OER
Density Columns
Eighth graders create solutions with 5 different densities. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders analyze the density of solutions stacked on top of each other. They document their data through graphing. This assignment requires 4 class...
Curated OER
Chemistry: The Case of the Sunken Ice Cube
Students examine a density demonstration involving ice cubes and beakers of water and alcohol. After observing how one ice cube floats in water and sinks in alcohol, they determine which mixture of the two would suspend the ice cube in...
