In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate the effect of the weight of air over our heads.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

In this chemistry activity, learners explore density by using four solids and 6 liquids to create colorful, layered rows.

In this activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate visually and physically that air has weight. Learners balance two equally-inflated balloons hanging from string on a yard stick.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners will use cereal to conduct an experiment and investigate how decreased bone density is related to increased risk of bone fracture.
