Choosing the Right Material: Reading a Properties Table
Students learn key material-property terms, read a properties table, calculate mass from density, and choose the best material for three design requirements.
THE LESSON LIBRARY

Find a lesson that fits your subject, your students, and the time you have.
Science
Density Detective: Mass, Volume and Kinds of Matter
Students sort samples of matter into elements, compounds and mixtures, then use mass and volume to calculate density and identify unknown metals.
Science
Density Detectives: Mass, Volume and Floating
Students use provided mass and volume data to calculate density, predict floating or sinking, and solve density problems.
Science
Gas Laws by the Numbers: Pressure, Volume and Temperature
Students apply Boyle’s, Charles’s, Gay-Lussac’s and ideal gas relationships to numerical problems and explain which direction each variable moves.
Mathematics
Similar Figures and Scale
Students use proportions and scale factors to find missing lengths in similar figures, maps, models and shadow problems, and complete a table on how perimeter, area and volume scale.
Science
Solutions and the pH Scale: Molarity, Dilution and Reading pH
Students calculate molarity and dilution amounts on paper, then read an everyday pH table to classify acids and bases and compare acidity.
Mathematics
Volume of Prisms, Cylinders, Cones and Spheres
Students sort the volume formulas and then compute volumes of prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres and a combined solid from measurements given in words.
Mathematics
Volume of Rectangular Prisms: Packing Boxes
Students find the volume of rectangular prisms, solve for a missing edge, solve packing problems and correct sample mistakes.
