Properties of Matter
In this properties of matter worksheet, students answer 11 questions about the various properties of matter such as density, elasticity, malleability, and how hard or brittle a substance is.
Curated OER
Density lab
Students relate the concept of density in relation to the rocks that make up the Earth. They determine the density of various rock specimens and answer assessment questions.
Curated OER
Causal Patterns in Density Phenomena
Students realize that density exists. They develop a mental model of density-to realize that something is going on that they cannot see to account for differences between materials.
Curated OER
Water Density
Students identify and analyze the concept of density using the formula, density equals mass divided by volume. They review the differences in salinity levels of the ocean and note that the changes in density are caused by wind and...
