Density Mystery Blocks PhET Lab | Self Grading Google Form + Lab Guide!
= = = = = = = = = = ===== = = = = = = = = = = =
This is a self-grading, guided virtual lab that explores the relationships of volume, mass, and density using the simulation, Density Lab: Mystery Blocks by PhET! Students are challenged to identify the unknown material of mystery blocks by calculating their density to compare with the known materials in the Density Table. Students follow step-by-step instructions in the google form while tinkering with the simulation, manipulating the variables, making observations, and recording qualitative/quantitative data. Perfect for review on density, data table practice, or as a summative lab.
Student Lab Guides:
- Are flexible! Can be printed and are digital-ready to assign in an LMS.
- There are transparent text boxes set in place for student input
- Elements on student digital handouts are not movable.
- There are some drag & drop features students can choose to use if completing digitally
Teacher Files Include:
- Teacher guide for differentiated options
- Teacher answer key to lab guide (one answer key applies to both)
- Printable answer key to Google Form. PDF includes clickable links.
- Editable pages so you can modify to your classroom needs :)

✏ Differentiated Options:
= = = = = = = = = = ===== = = = = = = = = = = =
Version A (3 pg) - Student handout includes space for written questions
- The teacher can choose to allow students to complete written questions after submitting the form, reading feedback, and/or class discussion. Then, correcting any misconceptions
- Teaches students independence, self-correction & reflection skills, and taking responsibility for learning
*I do not recommend having students simultaneously type answers to written questions in the form and then copying answers on the handout. This can be daunting to students –with good reason.
Version B (3/2 pg) - Student handout includes data tables.
- Quicker Version - students answer all questions in the form, checking answers & reviewing feedback after submitting.
- Data tables are larger, offering more space
- May choose to omit the last page to make it 2 pages total

Concepts: matter, volume, mass, density, Archimedes principle
✏ 30 points - 5 Sections As Follows:
1. Intro:
Name, Course Section, describe the challenge in your own words
2. Watch: (3:01 minutes)
Archimedes & the Gold Crown https://youtu.be/ijj58xD5fDI
3. Predict & Test Block Sets 1-3
- Test 1 - Students are prompted to describe observations before testing, identify the density of water and find the density table of known materials. Then predict and test, writing the equations for the first data table only and entering density values in the form to practice and self-check calculations.
- Test 2 - Students are prompted to think about the object being submerged to accurately calculate the density. Then, predict & test.
- Test 3 - Students predict if any blocks are the same material in the 3 sets. Then Test.
4. Analysis & Explanations
Students analyze blocks identified to be the same material in each set. Then answer summative questions.
*Teacher should evaluate student learning based on raw scores and responses to the formative/summative questions in Google Form Response Sheet
5. Student Survey:
asks the difficulty level of the assignment, understanding of the lesson, and leave a note on how you did
There is NO PREP besides reviewing the form (or form key pdf) & adjusting your class periods (if even that)! My middle school classes were set up in blocks of A-Days: periods 3,5,7 and B-Days: periods 4,6,8. If yours is too, you are set! :)

PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter
- Substances are made from different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways. Atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms. (MS-PS1-1)
- Each pure substance has characteristic physical and chemical properties (for any bulk quantity under given conditions) that can be used to identify it. (MS-PS1-2),(MS-PS1-3)

I began developing Google Form style lessons to help me teach hybrid and implement virtual labs during COVID. I saw the immediate feedback raise student confidence in learning science content -- and there is research to support this! The positive feedback from my students and successful results I observed encouraged me to continue creating more! I encourage you to try a full lesson with your class.

❓❔ Not sure how a Google Form "Lesson" works?
The forms are auto-graded that give a raw score for objective questions, but there are also subjective critical thinking questions that are ungraded! This encourages more in-depth student thinking and teacher insight into student learning than a "typical" auto-graded assignment.
