In this complete lesson, students will differentiate between physical and chemical properties, and physical and chemical changes in matter. The second concept is to master an understanding of the physical property, density, in a way that goes further than just mass/volume. Students will understand that density is a measure of how tightly packed particles are in a substance, and that since all matter has mass and volume, density is a unique, identifying property of all matter. Students will evaluate density through calculations, particle drawings, and graphing.
There are two PowerPoint presentations, honors and standard, along with the honors student notes and the standard student notes. Look through both and determine which is most suitable for your students.
Most chemistry students should have an in-depth experience with density from middle school and physical science, however, when asked to define density, they will often answer “mass/volume”. In this lesson, students are pushed to more complicated problems, and development of an understanding of density on the particle level. For honors students, graphing density and more complicated problems are included. There is just one exit ticket for all students, and a density quiz with two versions—honors and standard.
All resources for this lesson are Editable and Digital.

Note on the PowerPoints: The PowerPoints included in this product are editable. They are also animated, which means that they may appear busy or overlapping in the slide edit mode, but will be awesome in the slide show mode! Please don’t edit the PowerPoints until you have seen them in the slide show mode!
This lesson is appropriate for grades 9-12 chemistry, physical science, and possibly upper Middle School.
This will be a lesson you will want to use year after year!
