Description: Are your students struggling to understand density? If your kids need an introduction, a review, or a reinforcement of density concepts, these audio Boom Cards can help. The deck explains density in simple terms and 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 lives. Three questions require kids to compare and order decimals up to the thousandths place. Formal science vocabulary is combined with kid-friendly explanations. Kids will love learning about density through pointillism, population statistics, and crowded elevators! They may be surprised that understanding density can help them choose their next electronic device! Students will answer questions in four formats: multiple-choice, click the correct answer, click and drag, and one open response. This deck contains 26 cards. My hope is for your students to not only understand density but to be able to apply it to their own lives for years to come. 5.5A Classify matter based on measurable physical properties, including mass, physical state (solid, liquid, and gas), relative density (sinking and floating using water as a reference). 5.2D Analyze and interpret information to construct reasonable explanations from direct observable and indirect inferred evidence.
