It’s All About Density—An Introductory
Super Value Activity-Stations Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
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 rectan- gular 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.

Problem-Solving on the Wildlife Refuge—Introduction to Unit Factoring—Super Value Kit
By: Sue Bober
Schaumburg High School, Schaumburg, IL
Students will have no fear as they enter the wildlife “unit-factoring” refuge! Students often forget to include units when solving problems or recording measurements, yet numbers without units are often meaning- less. Take the confusion out of dimensional analysis or factor labeling with this engaging activity. Students develop the habit of using proper problem-solving techniques as they use specially-designed wildlife ratio cards to solve a set of puzzles and determine how many animals of a particular species are on the refuge. Six different puzzles present challenges of varying levels. Includes complete instructions with repro- ducible student handouts, and valuable Instructor’s Notes.
Super Value Kit is complete for 15 groups of students. All materials are reusable.
