Properties of Mass and Volume
What's the Matter?
Whether something is a solid, a liquid, or a gas, it is still made of matter. Come see how nothing matters more than the properties and states of matter.
Measuring Matter
Matter is all around us. A piece of gum, juice, and air are all different types of matter. These properties can be measured. Let’s explore how mass is measured and how measuring matter allows us to use materials.
Dive Right In
Students explore how shape, mass, and volume of objects affect their ability to float. They then explore with a model submarine, choosing different materials, type of water, and filling its ballast tank.
States of Matter Property
Three States of Matter
Changing States
Dessert Solutions
Property of Magnetism and Property of Floating and Sinking
Magnets
When you bring a magnet close to another magnet, it either pulls the other magnet to itself or pushes it away. Magnets create an invisible energy field around themselves. Let’s explore how you can make this invisible field visible.
The Attraction is Mutual
Density
Why do some objects float in water? Why do some objects sink? The density of an object determines whether they float or sink in a liquid. Density is the amount of matter in a given space. Let’s explore the density of some solids and liquids.
