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) ||= **Possible Materials** || **Comments** ||
 * = Block #1 ||= 5 ||= 15.625 ||= .32 ||= [|Basswood] || others ||
 * = Block #2 ||= 13.1 ||= 15.625 ||= .8768 ||= [|Hickory] || others ||
 * = Block #3 ||= 7 ||= 15.625 ||= .448 ||= [|Redwood (American)] || others ||
