Density Laboratory
With a scale to measure mass, a graduated cylinder to measure volume, and a large beaker of liquid to observe flotation, the relationship between mass, volume, density, and flotation can be investigated. The density of the liquid in the beaker can be adjusted, and a variety of objects can be studied during the investigation.

Float or Sink? Interactive Density Lesson
Students will record their data, calculate density to the nearest 100th, group objects according to densi... (more)ty, and analyze their data. What patterns did they notice? How does the density of the water compared to the density of the object determine which objects will float and which will sink?
