Penny Boat Lab: Density, Buoyancy and Archimedes
This is a one period activity/lab to teach students about the concept of density and Archimedes Principle, why things float. Students each get a piece of aluminum foil and design and make a boat. They then must calculate how many pennies it will carry before sinking, and then test it. This is an excellent one day STEM project that combines science, math, design and construction. Students will use the formula Density=Mass divided by Volume.

Matter Calculations: Volume and Density (harder version)
In this more challenging version of the Matter and Density worksheet students distinguish between mass and weight, chemical and physical changes, density, and volume. They are then presented with different objects, weigh them, calculate their volumes, and determine their densities. They use their calculations to predict whether the objects will float in water. Given densities, students also fill in a density column.
