Smile: Comparing Densities of Different Liquids
This lab experiment has students observe and compare the density of five different liquids while measuring mass and volume.
Science and Mathematics Initiative for Learning Enhancement (SMILE)
Smile: Comparing Liquid Density
Because different liquids have different properties, density also differs. In this lesson from the Illinois Institute of Technology, learners will calculate densities of water, dish-washing detergent, cooking oil, and other liquids.

Lapeer County Schools Science Resources: Density Lab
A simple lab experiment for students to find the density of two solids and a liquid (does not use water displacement). Note that number 1d should not state "weighs" since mass is being found.

Usa Today: Understanding Air Density and Its Effects
In simple terms, density is the mass of anything - including air - divided by the volume it occupies. In the metric system, which scientists use, we usually measure density in terms of kilograms per cubic meter. The air's density depends...
Alabama Learning Exchange
Alex: Density
Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Density will be introduced to young scholars by a demonstration of coke verses diet coke. The teacher will then solve density problems for the students on the board. The class will then complete a...

Teach Engineering: Attack of the Raging River
In this activity, the students will discover the relationship between an object's mass and the amount of space it takes up (its volume). The students will also learn about the concepts of displacement and density.
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Chemistry Simulation: Going Fishing
[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will be able to change the mass and volume of an item and observe if it floats, sinks, or remains at a certain depth in the water. Students will also be able to change the liquid in level 2.

American Geosciences Institute: Wind Classroom Activities
When air is warmed, it expands and becomes less dense. As the air becomes less dense, its air pressure decreases. This occurs because molecules in warm air have greater kinetic energy (energy of motion) than in cold air. As the molecules...
