Does it float? Exploring density: Density is a property of matter that requires abstract understanding from your students. This lesson plan is a hands-on lab for exploring the concepts of mass, volume, density, and their relationship. This lab achieves several 8th grade science objectives and incorporates mathematical objectives as well. The lab can easily be used as an introductory lab for the year, thus covering not only the content objectives, but also procedures for completing labs throughout the course of the year.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Science); By Trish Loudermilt.

Exploring properties of matter with submersibles: This inquiry-based learning activity allows students to explore the relationships between mass, volume, density, and buoyancy as they manipulate various materials to construct a submersible “vehicle” for deep-sea research.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Science); By Miriam Sutton.

Cell phones & driving: In this Science Update, from Science NetLinks, students hear about how cell phones could cause tunnel vision in drivers. Research indicates that when someone is talking on a phone, their vision narrows considerably.

Introducing static electricity: Students perform simple experiments creating static electricity. They will demonstrate how opposite charges attract each other and like charges repel each other. Then students will explore a website that further explains these concepts. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 7–12 Science); Provider: American Association for the Advancement of Science
