It’s All About Density—An Introductory Super Value Activity-Stations Kit

Product Details

Density—it's one of the first topics taught in every science class! Why spend time scrounging up density materials for a hands-on lab when you can have them ready to go in a moment's notice? This economical lab kit provides a complete introduction to basic density concepts for your physical science and chemistry students. Students determine the mass and volume of seven different materials—two regularly shaped rectangular solids, a spherical solid, a cylindrical solid, an irregularly shaped solid, and two liquids. Students practice measuring volume using both a ruler and the water displacement method. This kit is designed to have student groups move from station to station and determine the density of a different material—allowing for a very cost-conscious yet effective lab. Lab station instruction card masters, a pre-lab activity, background information, post-lab questions, and all necessary materials (except 100 mL of distilled water) are provided in the kit. Super Value Kit is complete for seven lab stations with two setups at each station—enough for 28 students working in pairs. All materials are reusable!
