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:


 * ~ Object Description ||~ Mass (g) ||~ Volume (cm³) ||~ Density (g/cm³) ||~ Comments || **Possible Materials** ||
 * = Block #1 ||= 7.1 ||= 15.625 ||= .4544 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Block #2 ||= 11.3 ||= 15.625 ||= .7232 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Block #3 ||= 8.6 ||= 15.625 ||= .5504 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Block #4 ||= 19 ||= 15.625 ||= 1.216 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Block #5 ||= 18.8 ||= 15.625 ||= 1.2032 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Block #6 ||= 148.7 ||= 15.625 ||= 9.5168 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Block #7 ||= 44 ||= 15.625 ||= 2.816 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Block #8 ||= 127 ||= 15.625 ||= 8.128 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Block #9 ||= 23 ||= 15.625 ||= 1.472 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Block #10 ||= 136.2 ||= 15.625 ||= 8.7168 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Small Wood Ball ||= 6.5 ||= 8.1812 ||= .7945 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Medium Wood Ball ||= 20.5 ||= 26.522 ||= .7725 ||=  ||   ||
 * = Large Wood Ball ||= 51.7 ||= 65.45 ||= .7899 ||=  ||   ||

 * = Blue Cylinder ||= 15.2 ||= 10.0876 ||= 1.5068 ||=  ||   ||
 * = (other - fill in yourself) ||=  ||=   ||=   ||=   ||   ||
