Mass Volume Density

The following activities target a middle school population although activities are approachable by more advanced elementary school students. The activities are also ideal for high school students to review basic concepts.

All exercises make use of javascript's which provides for a more interactive environment.

MASS

Measure the mass of an object using a triple beam balance--

MASS VS. WEIGHT

Mass and weight are often confused by many students. Learn the difference and try some challenging problems.

VOLUME

Measure volume using a graduated cylinder.

DENSITY OF A SOLID

Learn to calculate the density of an unknown solid from knowing its mass and volume.

DENSITY OF A LIQUID

Learn to calculate the density of an unknown liquid from knowing its mass and volume using a graduated cylinder and triple beam balance. Learn what a hydrometer is, and what it can do.

DENSITY CHALLENGE

Great page for gifted and talented students! Some excellent challenging problems.

ASSESSMENT
