Elementary measurement laboratories for Microsoft PowerPoint

Basic Principles, General Science, Measurement

Let’s make measuring fun while learning mass, mass of liquids, volume, water displacement, density of solids, and the density of liquids. Each of the three main concepts are introduced and then there are many lab activities to reinforce them. This unit includes instructional pages, clear graphics, data charts, and activity pages with answers. This comprehensive, ready to go unit can be used as interactive Google slides, printed out in a packet, pasted into an interactive notebook or made into

FINDING THE DENSITY OF MYSTERY UNKNOWN MINERALS Practice Activity Worksheets

Created by

Earth Sciences, Measurement, Science

Review the definition of density, and going over the triangle, have the students calculate the density of each of the mystery unknown minerals. Each mineral has its mass in grams and it’s volume in cubic centimeters and the students must use the equation of density equals mass divided by volume. After they have completed the densities of each of the mystery minerals, students use them to determine which unknown mineral matches them. Once the chart is completed, they can then move on to the quest

How to find the volume of a solid using the liquid displacement method

Created by

Judy Zapinsky

This is a short, animated, PowerPoint slide show, demonstrating the method used to find the volume of an irregular solid (a swimmer doll) using liquid displacement. The original volume of water in the graduated cylinder is measured, the swimmer races over to the graduated cylinder and jumps into the water, the water level rises, and the new volume of the water is measured. The subtraction of the two numbers is shown, along with the results.Note - It is also part of my bundled packages of lesson
