Metrics, Measurement, and Conversions Lab
When I teach the Metric System at the beginning of the year, I have my students do this lab. They measure the length of various objects, mass, volume of liquids, volume of a box (3D on the lab), temperature in Celsius, and answer a few wrap-up questions. Students complete some metric conversions along the way.I have used this lab with 7th and 10th graders. It would be easy to modify to any level. It is in Word, so change anything as needed for your class!You will have to create your own key, ba

Unit Conversion (Unit Factor Method) Challenge Stations
I believe unit conversions / stoichiometry / dimensional analysis is one of the most important skills to master. It is so useful in real life, whether traveling internationally, cooking, building, sewing, etc. After the 50th worksheet and word problem, I decided to make activities and stations for my students to practice unit conversions. Each station is set up for a different “real life” scenario that could involve unit conversion. You can modify the scenarios to fit the materials you have, but

Isotopes and Average Atomic Mass
The fictional element, nailonite, is central to this inexpensive laboratory activity. Other than a balance, the only material required for this activity is a sample of 10-25 total nails of three different sizes for each lab group. Each nail in the sample represents one of the three isotopes of the element. This simulation allows students to actually measure the mass of each of the three isotopes, and, after calculating the relative abundance of the isotopes in the sample, calculate the average a

Measurement Lab Activity: Distance, Mass, Volume, Density
This activity is perfect for getting your students ready to use various types of measurement in science. It covers distance, Mass, volume, and density. Students are asked to first measure the length, width and height of various objects that they choose in the classroom and record them. Students then weigh those objects on a scale to find their mess and record it continuing on they then measure the volume and the density of those objects. By the end students have had the chance to use various mea

Volume Comparison matching activity
Students will try to match given subjects with their appropriate volume. At first, the students will have to match the cards using the volumes given, which will be in various forms (for example, one will be in cubic feet, one in pints, etc.). After recording their first choice, they will be given a conversion chart. Students should realize that comparing quantities, it is easier once you convert everything to the same unit of measure. After making the conversions, they will try to match the subj

Density is a tricky concept for Middle School students to master. Density cubes help my students make this abstract concept more concrete. This exploration asks students to take measurements of mass and length, use formulas to calculate volume and density, and make observations about floating and sinking. The follow up questions ask students to make deliberate connections between what density looks and feels like and what density means mathematically.
