Pupils explore how density changes. Students read an article on density. They observe a ball and ring demonstration and discuss the outcome. Pupils draw models of the demonstration and explain what happened.

Students study how to calculate elapsed time. In this elapsed time lesson, they determine how to calculate the ending time of an event when they are given the starting time and the elapsed time. They participate in direct instruction,...

Twelfth graders study the stock market and how to read stock market pages. They write reports about and graph the performance of various stocks. They examine economic crashes in history and write and perform a skit about the market.

Students perform simple experiments to show properties of enzymes through studying how apple sauce can turn into apple juice and experimenting with papaya seeds. Students witness how enzymes speed up reactions through witnessing the...

In this solubility product constant of sodium chloride worksheet, students gather the equipment needed and follow the procedures to determine the solubility product constant of a solute and demonstrate precipitation of a common ion to a...

Students explore botany by participating in a calendar class activity. In this plant observation lesson, students examine a diagram of a Brassica plant and identify its anatomy before planting their own seeds and viewing the changes over...

Eighth graders create solutions with 5 different densities. For 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...

Students study Avogadro's law and what it means in science.  In this gaseous instructional activity students complete an Avogadro's law experiment.   

Students use funnels to put the five solid materials into clear bottles with caps. They observe how the particulate materials look, sound, and move when they shake and roll the bottle. Finally, students write "sound and touch" poetry.

In this science learning exercise, students look for the words that are related to the theme of the sheet in the word search. They also work on spelling skills.

Students explore math functions by solving word problems in class. In this multiplication lesson, students utilize colored cubes and base blocks to visualize multiplication problems. Students identify the multiplication values within...

Students discuss the relationship between technology and manufacturing. They then use their ideas to construct a model of a paper board carton package. Next they view a PowerPoint presentation to learn about the history of packaging...

Fourth graders identify the characteristics of a simple physical change. They describe objects by the properties of the materials from which they are made. Students discuss the different states of matter and their distinct physical...

In this lab, middle schoolers will measure and combine colored liquids to receive the expected results. The intended outcome would be to take primary colored liquids, measure them and combine them to create a "rainbow" colored set of...

A brief overview of the definition of volume, and a description on how to measure the volumes of liquids.

Tells the story of how Archimedes discovered the Archimedes Principle and his water displacement method for determining the volume and density of an object. Provides an explanation and several examples of how it is done.

In this Cyberchase Media Gallery, explore key concepts about liquid volume, including standard units of liquid measure and how to convert between them. In the accompanying classroom activity, students create a complete conversion chart...

The Center for Mathematics and Science Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides an interesting and easy-to-use dictionary of the history and meaning of many measurement terms. Metric, International, and...

In this video from Cyberchase, Bianca is babysitting infant twins. As she tries to give each twin the same amount of liquid baby formula, she discovers that all the baby bottles are different shapes. Learn how she finds two that hold the...

In this exercise, students practice arithmetic word problems with volume. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid...

Here are three activities--concentration, matching, and flashcards--to help learn or review the units of customary measurement.

This interactive game has students apply skills in estimation, measurement, and basic addition using pearls. Students are asked to estimate the number of pearls in a treasure chest by making predictions and using number sense. The skills...

Students learn how volume, viscosity and slope are factors that affect the surface area that lava covers. Using clear transparency grids and liquid soap, students conduct experiments, make measurements and collect data. They also...

Provides tables showing how to convert liquid measurements used for cooking and for container labeling. Covers teaspoons up to gallons, as well as conversions to milliliters. Also explains the differences between British and American...
