Description
Density Lesson, Task Cards, & Assignment
Everything you need to introduce and reinforce the concept of relative density—all in one easy-to-use bundle!
This engaging and comprehensive resource helps students explore how and why objects sink or float based on their density. With a dynamic slideshow, hands-on practice activities, and an easy-to-grade assignment, your students will gain a solid understanding of this essential physical property.
Perfect for whole-group instruction, centers, independent practice, or sub plans, this bundle is designed to support critical thinking, vocabulary development, and mastery of science TEKS/standards related to physical properties of matter.
✅ What’s Included:
✨ PowerPoint Lesson (21 Slides)
A visually engaging, teacher-guided slideshow that covers:
- The concept of density and relative density
- Why some objects float while others sink
- Real-world examples of density in action
- Introduction to the density of water as a reference point
✔ Includes fill-in-the-blank student note sheet to keep learners engaged and focused
✔ Optional video links for visual reinforcement:
▸ Patrick Haney – Physical Properties: Relative Density #1
▸ MELScience1 – Does an Orange Float or Sink?
Practice Activities
Task Cards + Answer Key
10 interactive task cards that reinforce key concepts about density and floating/sinking.
Use them for:
- Independent or small-group work
