Description
Are you a middle school math teacher trying to show your students the real-world applications of solving equations? Or are you a middle school science teacher trying to show your students the significance of math in understanding the physics of the world? Either way - this worksheet is for you!
In this activity, students will conduct a density exploration lab using pumpkins (or another gourd or vegetable). Students will make predictions, solve for density using a formula, graphing relationships, and making conclusions. Students will also apply and connect their knowledge of solving for missing variables in the density formula. Overall, students will have an opportunity to think critically about the objects around them and how they can use math to better understand them. This worksheet is 3-pages, with an answer key and teachers notes page included.
