Students explore how fish are able to move easily from one depth to another in water.  In this fish activity students create their own balloon fish. 

Students explore physical and chemical changes. In this chemistry lesson plan, students will go outside to observe changes seen in nature. Students will then work in the lab to identify changes at different stations prior to doing a...

Students explore sinking and floating.  For this buoyancy lesson, students conduct an investigation dealing with regular and diet soda. Students drop various soda cans into water and then discuss why some float and some...

Middle schoolers determine the density of 1 drop of water. In this determining density lesson plan, students determine the mass and volume of a drop of water in the lab using appropriate lab techniques and calculate the density of a drop...

In this moon's density worksheet, students solve 4 problems about the Moon and a model planet. They find the Moon's density and they find its volume. They make a model of a planet's interior and use its mass and radius to find the...

In this measurement worksheet, students identify the units of measurement, the instrument used to measure and the method used to measure weight, mass, density, volume and length. They also answer questions about measurements and find the...

In this density graph worksheet, students graph data displayed in a chart. Students also calculate the density of each metal shown in the graph. Students answer questions about which detail is more dense.

Students comrehend that water displacement is a simple way to measure the volume of a solid object. They pour water into a graduated cylinder or measuring cup and its volume is read and recorded. Pupils the volume of an object by...

Students watch the teacher do a demonstration of density with diet and regular soda. Note: try this first, as different types of artificial sweetener have different densities. Students discuss density and volume. They discuss "Relational...

Second graders discuss why some objects float while others sink. They examine various objects and predict whether or not they will sink or float. Students discover the properties needed for objects to float.

Students use a balance and weigh a rock sample. They weigh the rock suspended on a sling in a glass of water. They tabulate the rock's density using the two weights and compare the density of various rocks of similar sizes.

Written to introduce pupils to buoyancy, this activity has collaborative groups work to design a floatable clay boat. They first observe that a stick of clay sinks in water and then are given their own stick to reshape into a floating...

Students 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. Students analyze which items float...

Students observe earth science by examining results from an experiment. In this buoyancy lesson, students practice floating different items in two different liquids and identify why certain objects will float and others sink. Students...

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density instructional activity, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the...

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

Students research the process of fractional distillation. In this chemistry lesson, students perform simple distillation of two liquids. They collect data and share results in class.

Learners examine buoyancy.  In this density lesson students form a hypothesis, collect data and draw a conclusion using the data. 

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

In this density laboratory learning exercise, students complete 2 prior knowledge questions, then use the "Density Laboratory Gizmo" to complete several activities, answering short answer questions when finished.

For 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...

In this chemistry review worksheet, learners review terms and concepts covered. Students practice metric conversions, factor labeling, temperature conversions, heat calculations, atomic structure, and gas laws. This worksheet has 3...

In this water worksheet, students review the properties of water including the density, boiling point, and evaporation. Students define mixture, solute, and solvent. This worksheet has 22 short answer questions.

In this 9th grade science review worksheet, students complete 63 true or false questions on topics such as atomic notation, isotopes, covalent bonds, Ohm's law, and electric circuits.
