Scientific Method Activity Practice Data Analysis Qualitative and Quantitative
This activity has students collect QUALITATIVE and QUANTITATIVE DATA about the candy in a mixed pack, such as Skittles or M&Ms. There are many candy activities out there, but none quite covered the quantitative and qualitative skills I wanted my middle school students to practice, so I designed my own! This lab is designed to be simple so that students can master beginner lab and data collection skills.In this activity, students will:READ an article about the differences between qualitativ

Density Lab Middle School- 5 Exploration Activities
Students will review density through five different explorations. You can set these explorations up in stations, as a multi-day lab, or as class demonstrations. One of the explorations can be extended so that students are required to measure the mass, volume, and density of solid cubes. Included:Teacher InstructionsStudent Density Exploration Sheets w/ questionsTeacher Answer KeyMaterials needed: Exploration 1- helium filled balloon, regular balloonExploration 2- 2 cubes different volume, same m

Kit-Kat Density Lab
How better to learn about density then with candy bars? Kit-Kat bars are peanut-free, even though no one eats them in class. I purchase mini, regular and king-sized Kit Kat bars for the class. This lab allows students to explore density. In groups of 4, they measure the candy bar's length, width and height with the ruler. They measure its mass with the triple beam balance. Using a calculator, they find the volume of each candy bar and then the density. What they find is that each candy bar
