How much did dinosaurs weigh? This Weighing Dinosaurs experiment engages students as they gather data and perform calculations to determine the mass of their favorite dinosaurs. Students record a dinosaur model’s mass while it hangs from a scale and again when it is submerged in water. This, and the scale of the dinosaur model, is all the data that is necessary to calculate the mass of a dinosaur.
Use Archimedes' Principle and dinosaur models to determine the mass of actual dinosaurs.
Collect data, make calculations, think about science principles.
Safe experiment with easy to follow instructions.
Everything fits inside the translucent bucket that comes with a lid!
Inventory list on lid makes for quick and easy check out.
Laminated worksheets for recording data that wipe clean with wet-erase markers.
Easy part replacement.
Everything included; just add water.
This experiment uses Archimedes’ Principle to determine the mass of dinosaurs. With the supervision of a knowledgeable adult, even young children can perform this experiment.
