Product Details

Measurement is a basic and essential component in many science laboratory investigations. In this unique activity, students practice and perfect their measurement skills using an incredible shrinking material known as shrink plastic. Students calculate the area, volume, and density of the shrink plastic pieces before and after they are heated and shrunk. The results are then compared and contrasted. A fun, must-have measurement activity kit! Includes Teacher Notes and reproducible student handouts. Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
