Density of Liquids Scientific Method and Graphing Lab
This is really two labs in one. In the first part, students hypothesize which of three liquids will float on top of each other. I purposely give all the groups different amounts of each of the liquids (to set up part two). They get practice with both the scientific method and with graphing. In the second part, we curate each others' data into three data tables in order to make a triple line graph (with key) to view what mass and volume data look like when graphed. More advanced students can cal

Density Worksheet
Students are given 5 items and values for their mass, volume, density, and whether or not they would float in water. One value in each column is incorrect. Students have to calculate if the mass, volume, density, or ability to float in water is incorrect and then give an explanation as to why that value is incorrect and how they could correct it. There are also discussion questions involving water displacement to find the volume of an irregular object and the density of one piece of an item vers

Testing the Scientific Method Lab Activity (Great for back to School)
A lab activity that enables students to identify and use all parts of the scientific method as they examine whether grapes will float in water and soda.
I did this with my 7th grade class, but the critical thinking skills for that group were not present and the activity did not go well. I would recommend it for no lower than 8th grade.
