How to calculate density
This resource focusses on understanding density and, through a series of practical tests, working out which materials are low and high density. In this activity learners will learn about the density of materials through testing. Learners will have an opportunity to weigh and work out the volume of an object. They will use this information and their number skills to calculate the density. They will then repeat this for other objects and discuss their results as a class. This resource consists of an activity guide, presentation and worksheet, providing all you need to deliver this exciting and highly practical lesson.
