Relative Density BOOM Cards Worksheets Sink or Float Labs Science Task Cards
Are your kids struggling to understand relative density with traditional sink or float worksheets and labs? Do they get mass, volume, and density mixed up? These Boom Cards can help if your kids need an introduction, review, or reinforcement. The deck begins with easy questions. After the first five slides, the questions vary in difficulty with an even mixture of easy, medium, and hard questions. Real-world examples of density are included so kids can understand why density matters in their own
