Work = Force X distance Force = mass X acceleration Density = mass/volume Speed = distance/time
The display gives the student the formula. It then asks for the parts of the formula (force and distance). When the student clicks the calculate button the information is then calculated and an answer is displayed.

As a sample project I created a program for calculating the volume of an object. The program gives the formula for volume and then asks for the parts of the formula; length, width, and height. This will work with the density formula if you have to calculate the density of a regularly shaped object that has a definite length, width and height.

Use to help students identify parts of formulas and what to insert in those parts. Use as a review after teaching the formulas. Use as a review before STAAR to reinforce concepts. Use as a tool during tutoring sessions. Use as an assignment for students who need calculators to do the work.
