Density Day 1
by Jacqueline Kimzey
This lesson is on density of solids. It's one lesson of two. This lesson should be first since it introduces density but it can be revised and used after the density of liquids.
The lesson has a short lab activity using several items and testing them in water. There's aa density video, a reading and an interactive simulation. Students will be using the interactive to compute the densities found in the assignment chart.

Messin' with Mixtures
Grades:
6th Grade, 7th Grade, 8th Grade
In this lesson, students will investigate the properties of a mixture, as if it were a contaminated soil sample near a stream. This activity will show students that heterogeneous mixtures can be
Grades:
8th Grade
Using rock salt, ice, juice, and thermometers, students will use their inquiry framework to investigate how slushies are made and see if they are able to replicate the results of a traditional slushy
Grades:
10th Grade, 11th Grade, 12th Grade
This lesson involves students calculating the density of various objects of differing sizes of the same substance. Each student group will need a balance, a ruler, and/or a graduated cylinder. They
