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 build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

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

In this activity, learners create a model of a hot air balloon using tissue paper and a hairdryer. Educators can use this activity to introduce learners to density and its role in why things float.

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 water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

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, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

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

In this activity, learners discover what buoyancy is and determine the characteristics that make an object buoyant. Learners design, build, test, and evaluate boats made from a variety of materials.

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.
