This worksheet is designed for KS3 and early KS4 physics students to build confidence and fluency in working with the relationship between density, mass, and volume. It contains a range of scaffolded and applied questions that gradually increase in complexity, helping students to consolidate key skills while engaging with real-world contexts.
The tasks cover unit recognition, straightforward density calculations, and volume computations for a variety of 3D shapes including cubes, spheres, cylinders, and cones. Students are also given opportunities to apply their understanding in context-based problems involving materials such as gold, carrots, and tin cans. The final extension question challenges students to combine their knowledge of momentum, energy, and volume to determine the density of a falling object.
This resource is suitable for a 40 to 50 minute lesson and can be used flexibly as independent work, homework, or revision. An accompanying answer sheet is included to support self-assessment, peer review, or teacher marking. It aligns well with key learning objectives in the KS3 national curriculum and KS4 GCSE specifications across major exam boards.
The sheet is a .pdf file and readily printable.
