Water Displacement
Young scholars formulate a hypothesis using critical thinking skills. They use an orange to examine the displacement of water as the orange sinks or floats.
Curated OER
Water Quality Monitoring
Students comprehend the four parameters of water quality. They perform tests for salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH and clarity or turbidity. Students comprehend why scientists and environmental managers monitor water uality and aquatic...

Activity #4 The Density of Irregularly Shaped Solids
Young scholars 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...
Curated OER
Rocks, Their Mass and Volume
Students measure volume using water displacement and mass using a balance. Once they have calculated these two values they will then calculate density while at the same time working on long division. After the activity and explanation of...

Chemistry Lab-Molar Volume of Gas
Learners determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas. For this molar volume lesson plan, students find the molar volume of hydrogen produced in a reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. They use a eudiometer to measure the...
Curated OER
Density
Students find the mass, volume, and density of various objects. In this density measurement instructional activity, students observe how same-sized objects can have different masses, then use water displacement to find the density of...

Simulating Microgravity with Buoyancy
How do astronauts know how to live and work in a weightless environment? It doesn't come naturally! Junior physicists conduct experiments to examine the link between buoyancy and microgravity. Each activity illustrates a different aspect...
Curated OER
Float Your Boat
Students investigate buoyancy, displacement and density. In this flotation activity students study the Archimedes' Principle, analyze data and draw conclusions.
Curated OER
Buoyancy
In this buoyancy worksheet, students match the definitions given to the 6 terms associated with buoyancy, displacement, and Archimedes' principle.
Curated OER
Water Meter Reader
Students examine a water bill from their household and examine it to find out how much water is used each month. They read their home water meters at the same time of the day for seven days and then construct a graph using their data.
American Chemical Society
Defining Density
Three simple activities kick off a unit investigation of density. Your physical scientists make observations on the volume and mass of wood, water, and rocks, and make comparisons. Though this is written for grades three through eight,...
Curated OER
Made to Sail
Students use simple materials to make model sailboats which must stay upright and sail straight in a testing tank.
Curated OER
Measuring Body Fat
In this body fat measurement activity, students will conduct an experiment to determine how the "under-water weighing" technique of measuring body fat works. Once the experiment is complete, students will complete 1 short answer question.

Global Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
Ice is nice, and its condition on the planet has a significant effect. Junior geoscientists experiment with ice melting in both water and on land to discover how each affect the rising sea level. This detailed lesson outline even...
Beyond Benign
Packed Up Properties
Determine physical properties of potential packaging materials. Continuing from previous lessons in the series, the resource asks groups to identify physical properties of the substances. They test for conductivity, solubility, water...
