10/27/08: In this activity you are going to measure and record the density of the objects in your bin. You are going to need a ruler, knowledge of geometry (formulas for volume of each object), and a triple beam balance (you'll need to share).

Your first step, however, is to make a new page in this wikispace: click on "New Page" on the Action Bar to the left. Use you first name to name your page.

Here's an example of a data table:

(g) ||~ Volume (cm³) ||~ Density (g/cm³) ||~ Possible Materials ||
 * ~ Object Description ||~ Mass
 * = Block #1 ||= 7.0 ||= 15.625 ||= .45 ||= Wood ||
 * = Block #2 ||= 12.2 ||= 15.625 ||= .78 ||=  ||
 * = Block #3 ||= 6.9 ||= 15.625 ||= .44 ||=  ||
 * = Block #4 ||= 18.6 ||= 15.625 ||= 1.19 ||=  ||
 * = Block #5 ||= 19.1 ||= 15.625 ||= 1.22 ||=  ||
 * = Block #6 ||= 142 ||= 15.625 ||= 9.09 ||=  ||
 * = Block #7 ||= 42.1 ||= 15.625 ||= 2.69 ||=  ||
 * = Block #8 ||= 127.45 ||= 15.625 ||= 8.16 ||=  ||
 * = Block #9 ||= 22.1 ||= 15.625 ||= 1.41 ||=  ||
 * = Block #10 ||= 138 ||= 15.625 ||= 8.83 ||=  ||
 * = Small Wood Ball ||= 5.4 ||= 8.18 ||= .66 ||= Wood ||
 * = Medium Wood Ball ||= 13.2 ||= 22.45 ||= .59 ||= Wood ||
 * = Large Wood Ball ||= 47.1 ||= 47.71 ||= .99 ||= Wood ||
 * = Super Ball ||= 39.3 ||= 33.51 ||= 1.17 ||= Rubber ||
 * = Golf Ball ||= 45.5 ||= 28.73 ||= 1.58 ||=  ||
 * = Silver Colored Cylinder ||= 14.7 ||= 4.52 ||= 3.25 ||= Metal ||
 * = Long Plastic Cylinder ||= 15.1 ||= 10.74 ||= 1.41 ||= Plastic ||
 * = Small Gold-Colored Cylinder ||= 14.6 ||= 1.47 ||= 9.93 ||= Metal ||
 * = White Eraser ||= 26.1 ||= 12 ||= 2.18 ||=  ||
 * = Mint Case ||= 16.4 ||= 23.86 ||= .69 ||= Metal ||
