quiz the mantle
Density= Mass/Volume
Students explain in their own
words
Students explain how more
dense things sink while less
dense things float.
Examples of density in real life
Loading things heavier (more
dense) goes over axles or on the
bottom
Students explain their
understanding of density as it
relates to the layers of the
Earth.
