This hands‑on practical lesson gives pupils the opportunity to apply their mathematical and scientific skills to a real investigation using metal blocks. Students plan a precise method, collect accurate mass and volume data, calculate densities, and compare different materials based on their results. The lesson also builds evaluative thinking by encouraging pupils to judge the accuracy and reliability of their findings.
Clear modelling, structured tables and scaffolded prompts support all learners, while extension tasks challenge pupils to justify differences in density using particle theory.
