I love this lesson! My students have been engaging in it for 3 years now and they get so much out of it! I love showing how mass and volume are proportionate to density and watching their "light bulbs" go off. Thank you, Mr. T, for sharing this lesson.
Side note: Kent was also a great resource as I reached out to him when I first did this in my classroom.
