If you have a set of six various metal rods, you can use this lab activity to challenge science students to calculate their densities. They will use a triple beam balance to measure the mass and the micrometer and ruler determine the...

Your young forensic scientists add to and strengthen their measurement and conversion skills with these seven well-scaffold worksheets. Metric conversions, measuring length, area, and volume, reading thermometers, graduated cylinders,...

In this metric system worksheet, students convert from the English system of measurement for mass to the metric system of measurement. They also convert measurements of mass within the metric system and explain how to measure an object...

Groups suspend objects within layers of liquids to determine the densities of different liquids and compare them to the densities of objects calculated in Part 1. The groups then carefully test their calculations by layering the...

Pupils compare the temperature change in a closed and open box as a demonstration of the greenhouse effect. 

Mass and density — aren't they the same thing? This activity has groups use balance beams and water displacement to measure several objects. The pupils use the measurements to calculate the density of the objects. 

In this observing and identifying matter worksheet, middle schoolers use a cookie in a bag and list 10 different descriptions of the cookie. They draw and label their cookie and given the cookie in the bag to their teacher who mixes all...

Assist your middle school class with one of the most inclusive weathering and erosion labs available. Individuals use sugar cubes and alka-seltzer to demonstrate the process of physical and chemical weathering. They sketch results...

In this conservation of mass learning exercise, students experiment with vinegar, baking soda, a balloon and a flask. They compare the mass of the closed system of reactants before the experiment to the mass of the products after the...

In this measurement worksheet, students complete each of the statements with the correct word related to the metric system. Then they match each letter marked with a number to those at the bottom of the sheet to complete the answer to...

In this acceleration worksheet, students experiment with varying amounts of mass to observe the effects on the force needed to move an object. Students apply Newton's Second Law of Motion to describe the relationship between mass and...

In this metric learning exercise, students complete 28 different metric calculations consisting of density, volume, mass, length, temperature, and time.

In this Earth activity, students read about Earth's gravity, the reason the Earth has seasons, and time zones. Then students complete 21 multiple choice, 2 true or false, and 1 short answer question.
