Easy Density Experiments | Editable | Digital

Item description

EDITABLE Density Activities, with step-by-step Google slides for each step, will increase your students’ independence while completing lab activities. This is perfect for every type of learner and especially helpful for students struggling to complete labs independently. These Density Activities were created to be easy to teach and fun to do. All of the activities use materials that are easy to find.

Three hands-on activities are included:

• Comparing Density – Students will make a simple balance and use it to predict differences in the density of various materials
• Stack of Liquids – Students create a density tower by stacking various liquids based on density, and then experiment with the densities of various small objects.
• DIY Lava Lamp – Students use common kitchen ingredients to create “lava” that magically travels up and down.
