Help students to unlock the skills to calculate speed, distance and time with this set of 40 questions designed to enhance understanding and application of the density = mass/volume equation.
Perfect for KS3 students, or for KS4 review of prior learning this question set covers a wide range of scenarios using metric SI units (m, s, m/s)).
Students practice using the speed equation and then progress to manipulating the equation to calculate distance and time.
For an increased challenge students will then need to decide how best to use the equation for 10 mixed questions.
Develop students ability to calculate density through these easy to follow instructional worksheets.
This resource includes:
A calculations cover sheet, outlining how to carry out substitution calculations for any equation using the VESCU method.
A list of the common units used in science.
A density review sheet that includes a true or false quiz, a units match up, and a volume calculation example.
A model answer showing how to follow the VESCU method and write down answers.
Density questions with scaffolding to guide students to independence.
Independent practice, with guidance on how to round up and down when the answers are given to 2 decimal places.
Answers to all questions.
Who is this resource for?
This resource can be used by classroom teachers, tutors, and parents of students.
How Can I Use this Resource?
Whole class practice for density calculations.
Emergency Sub Plans
Differentiation – Assign this practice as reteaching for students who have yet to show mastery or as an alternative to more challenging questions that require students to manipulate the equation.
