This is the handout for the Density lab that I give during the Observation, Measurement, & Mapping unit. While completing it, students will measure masses and volumes of various substances and then calculate their densities.

Feel free to modify it to suit the materials you have at your school, remove the scribble if you want students to write their data directly on this lab page instead of in their journals, etc.

Materials Required: triple-beam balances, ruler, graduated cylinders, calculators, wooden blocks (I used triangular prisms), tap water, salt water, lead sinkers, limestone pebbles
