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

In 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 perform an experiment to measure the density of tap water vs. salt water.

Clay itself sinks, but clay boats float. Why? Young engineers build clay boats to learn about buoyancy. They test the weight the boats can hold using washers and then tweak their designs to make improvements, following the engineering...

Study how plants grow with your English language learners with a cross-curricular lesson plan revolving around pumpkins. These activities provide opportunities to practice new scientific vocabulary while practicing skills such as...

Students examine the relationship between density and buoyancy.  For this physics lesson students use Archimedes' Principle to complete calculations on buoyancy and a lab activity.

Students apply knowledge about density of solids from previous experimentation to this activity which they investigate the density of liquids. They work in small groups to mix water and syrup, and water and oil to see what occurs....

For this density worksheet, students modify three film canisters in order to make one float in a tank of water, another suspend in the middle of the tank, and the third should sink to the bottom. They collect data on their canisters and...

Students complete several cross-curricular activities to learn the letter Ff. For this letter recognition lesson, students complete activities that include geography, music, physical education, science, seasonal, space science, and...

Young scholars investigate buoyancy by participating in a lab experiment. In this density instructional activity, students utilize vinegar and alcohol in beakers and attempt to float different items in them. Young scholars analyze which...

Students conduct a series of experiments to study the effects of temperature and salinity on the buoyancy of an object in water. They devise ways to make floating and sinking objects neutrally buoyant.

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

Learners explain that some things can float on top of water because of what we call "surface tension." They see that if something happens to disturb these water molecules from tugging on each other, the skin-like surface breaks up.

Students investigate different liquids to develop their concept of a liquid. They work at a center to tip, swirl, shake, roll, and otherwise investigate seven liquids in small, clear plastic bottles: plain water, corn syrup, liquid...

Students explore the concept of environmental stewardship. In this science lesson, students examine the environmental effects of oil spills as they replicate a contained oil spill and clean up.

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

In this elements worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the symbol and atomic number for the given elements. Kids plot a graph of melting point against atomic number. Students write the electron arrangements for...

First graders discover plate tectonics. They observe the forces of erosion. They observe the forces of weathering. They state three ways the earth changes. They record observations and make conclusions about their observations.

Young scholars 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.

Students conduct an experiment to simulate an oil spill and identify the characteristics of oil in water. They evaluate the effectiveness of various cleanup methods. They discuss the how to clean up an oil spill, and what causes oil...

Students investigate the dirt in the air. In this air quality lesson, students use aluminum foil and petroleum jelly to discover if there is dirt in the air. Students discuss results.

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

In this seasons worksheet, students cut out the picture cards at the bottom of the page, sort the pictures and paste them with the matching season.

Young scholars read The Wheels on the Bus by Maryann Kovalski. They complete a variety of cross-curricular activities surrounding the study of travel and transportation. Included are reading, art, math, science, writing, social studies,...
