Students love density when it’s taught with clear comparisons and
real examples. This TEKS-aligned resource builds understanding of
density and how it relates to floating and sinking in different
fluids.

What’s Included

• Information Gap Exercise

• Short Answer Exercise

• Exit Tickets

Concepts Covered (TEKS 6.6D)

• Understanding density as mass
  per volume (concept-level)

• Comparing densities of
  substances relative to different fluids

• Predicting floating or sinking
  using density comparisons

• Explaining observations using
  evidence and reasoning

How It’s Useful

• Perfect for lab follow-ups,
  density stations, and review

• Helps students explain results,
  not just memorize rules

• Exit tickets quickly show who
  can apply density concepts
