  Lab: Effect of Salt Concentration on Plants Mark as Favorite (9 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will observe how salt concentration can affect the structure of a potato tuber.

• 

  Significant Figures, Measurements, Accuracy, Density, Accuracy, Error Analysis, Error Analysis | Middle School, High School

  Lab: Significant Figures and Lab Data Mark as Favorite (98 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will use laboratory equipment of different precision to collect data for several different metals, and then use the data to calculate the density of each. They will then compare their calculated densities to accepted values and determine the combination of equipment that leads to the most accurate calculation of density.

  Density, Matter, Physical Properties, Measurements | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Animation: Density Animation Mark as Favorite (43 Favorites)

  This animation explores density on the particulate level. There are opportunities to make qualitative and quantitative comparisons between substances. **This video has no audio**

• 

  Conservation of Mass, History, Observations, Measurements, SI Units | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Video: Antoine Lavoisier Video Mark as Favorite (18 Favorites)

  This video tells the story of Antoine Lavoisier who many consider to be the father or modern chemistry. Lavoisier discovered oxygen and hydrogen and first proposed the Law of Conservation of Mass.

  Lab: Determining the Density of Liquids and Solids Mark as Favorite (38 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will experimentally determine the density of several liquids and solids from mass and volume measurements. They will then identify an unknown metal by comparing its density to that of known metals and calculate the percent error within the class for a specific sample.

• 

  Density, Dimensional Analysis, Review, Measurements, Accuracy, Accuracy, Experimental Design, Error Analysis | High School, Middle School

  Lab: Bowling Ball—Will it Sink or Float in Water? Mark as Favorite (7 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will find the density of a bowling ball to determine whether it will sink or float in water.

• 

  Separating Mixtures, Percent Composition, Mixtures, Interdisciplinary, Measurements | Middle School

  Lab: Metallic Breakfast Mark as Favorite (8 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will separate iron filings from iron-fortified breakfast cereals. Students will use the recorded data to conduct percent composition calculations.
