Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

Learners compare the weight of equal volumes of wax, water, and clay. Learners discover that since the wax weighs less than an equal volume of water, it is less dense than water and will float.

In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

In this introductory demonstration and activity, learners are introduced to the concept of density as they explore a rock and a wooden block in water.

Learners will see that changing the shape of an object, like a clay ball, that is more dense than water, can affect whether the object will sink or float.

In this activity, learners work in groups to determine the mass and volume of four samples: glass marbles, steel washers or nuts, pieces of pine wood, and pieces of PVC pipe.

In this activity, learners experiment with different variables in making hollandaise sauce to achieve the correct texture and consistency.

In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

Young learners investigate and observe the properties of three liquids -- water, vegetable oil, and corn syrup. They use their senses to collect data and ask and answer questions.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this activity, learners compare water pressure at different depths. Learners discover that water pressure increases with depth.

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

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this four-part activity, learners explore light and sound through a variety of hands-on investigations.

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

In this hands-on activity, learners will construct a scuba diver that can float in order to explore how sea creatures stay neutrally buoyant in the ocean and to see what kinds of forces might be influ

In this activity on page 12 of the PDF (Rethinking the 3 R’s: It’s Easy to be Green), learners examine how recyclable materials are separated by various properties at recycling centers.

In this activity, learners mix several sugar solutions to investigate the property of density. Each sugar solution has a different density and color of the rainbow.
