Density is a book about Density and how we measure it. It tells children that density is measured by the amount of objects in a space. The book talks about different types of density and how everything is made up of molecules such as people, liquids, and solids. It talks about how each type of molecule is arranged differently. It explains air density and that objects can rise in the air if their density is lower than that of air. This book contains several science words with their definitions located in the back of the book.
The pictures in this book are very colorful. With each page its picture goes along with what part of density it is talking about. This is helpful so that younger students can put a picture with some of the harder things the book refers to.
This will be great for a Science lesson. You could ask the students if you place a marble in water will it sink or float and why did you think that. Then you could read the book and it will give them the explanation of why it sinks.
