Comparing Density - Student Choice Projects, MS, New TEKS 6.6D

Empower your students to take ownership of their learning with the Comparing Density Student Choice Projects, aligned with 2021 TEKS standard 6.6D.
This engaging, student-centered resource allows middle school learners to choose a project format that best fits their learning style, giving them creative freedom to demonstrate their understanding of density and how it relates to mass and volume.

The project choice board features six ready-to-use student-led options plus a “design your own” project, encouraging critical thinking and inquiry-based learning.
An editable grading rubric allows for assessment by teachers, peers, or students themselves, focusing on vocabulary, concepts, presentation, clarity, and accuracy.

Flexible, Creative, and Student-Centered

Teachers can easily customize the rubric to meet their grading needs, while students select multimodal project options—visual, written, digital, or hands-on—that help them show what they know in unique and meaningful ways.

This structure encourages creativity, collaboration, and deeper understanding while giving every learner an opportunity to succeed.

• Nine project choice board options plus a “design your own” project

• Teacher Directions page with implementation tips, support ideas, and classroom suggestions

• Editable rubric pages assessing vocabulary, concepts, presentation, clarity, and accuracy

Differentiated for All Learners

To meet the needs of every student, two versions of the project page are included:

• A modified version with three scaffolded options for students who need additional support or remediation

• A standard version for grade-level or advanced learners, with the flexibility to assign multiple projects for enrichment—all using the same consistent rubric

Simple Supplies, Endless Creativity

The Comparing Density Student Choice Projects use common classroom supplies such as paper, markers, and scissors. Many projects can also be completed digitally, making this resource perfect for both in-person and virtual learning.
