Overview

During this hands-on activity, your students will use household items to investigate density. They will complete an activity in which they will construct a density tube and use it in a game of Density Bowling. This is a great activity because the students will remember this activity every time they are looking for something in their kitchen. This is a density experiment that will last forever.
