Relative Density Anchor Chart

When I first started teaching about states of matter, I neglected to emphasize the role of shape and volume in classifying physical state. This is super important though for many reasons, but primarily it helps with identifying changing states and also making claims. It’s easy to say, “A can is a solid.” But can you ... Read more

Density and Relative Density Calculations Example

Specific Gravity: the ratio of a material's density to the density of water at 4 degrees C.

Density bottle with poly beads

I’m working once or twice a week in my friend’s 4th grade classroom at my old school. Last week, they were working on properties of matter, so we did a relative density activity to help students see new instances of sinking and floating in water. This took a little bit longer than normal to prep, ... Read more

Teaching physical properties of matter is so much fun! You will love these 7 ideas for experiments, sorts, labs, review, and more in 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade.

This Small Group Science lesson pack was designed for the 5th grade science TEKS. The lessons include solubility, relative density, electrical conductivity, interpreting data about the physical properties of matter, and mixtures maintaining their physical properties.This is a tool for teachers to us...
