Physical Science<br />
Density And Specific Gravity<br />
12-Piece Mystery Density Set<br />
This set of 12 samples represents two sets of <strong>materials</strong><br />
(nylon and acetyl) that, while sharing similar physical appearances,<br />
represent differing densities. The set is meant<br />
to be used as an inquiry lesson in which students are<br />
asked to measure and graph the masses and volumes of<br />
all 12 pieces without the knowledge that the 12 samples<br />
actually represent two different substances. Proper analysis<br />
of the graph will point students to the conclusion that<br />
there are in fact two substances of differing densities. Use<br />
to introduce the concept of density; to reinforce the basic<br />
principle of graphing data as a means of data analysis; and<br />
to test students’ abilities to properly collect dimension,<br />
mass, and volume measurements. Additional material may<br />
be needed. Ideas for supplemental activities are included.<br />
Grades 7—12. Sh. wt. 1.25 lbs.<br />
SB47733M — $40.80<br />
Equal Mass Cylinder Density Set<br />
Demonstrates the inverse relationship between density<br />
and length for cylinders of the same mass and diameter.<br />
The set consists of five cylinders (copper, aluminum,<br />
nylon, polyvinyl chloride, and polyethylene) all 12 mm<br />
(½") in diameter and range from 15 mm to 100 mm in<br />
length. Mass of each cylinder is 15 g. Sh. wt. 0.11 kgs.<br />
SB15356M — $13.05<br />
Density Cube Set<br />
Here’s a handy, economical set of 10 one-inch cubes in<br />
the following <strong>materials</strong>: aluminum, steel, brass, copper,<br />
acrylic, oak, nylon, pine, poplar, PVC. Experiment with<br />
mass, volume, density, buoyancy, specific gravity, and<br />
floatation. Instructions included. Grade 3 to adult.<br />
Sh. wt. 2.27 kgs.<br />
SB31356M — $38.05<br />
12-Cube Set. One 1” cube each of the <strong>materials</strong> listed<br />
above, plus lignum vitae and polypropylene.<br />
Sh. wt. 1.75 lbs.<br />
SB45884M — $38.05<br />
Density Ball<br />
Used to demonstrate<br />
the effects of tem-<br />
perature and mineral<br />
content on density.<br />
The metal ball will<br />
float in cold water<br />
and sink in hot!<br />
Sh. wt. 1.50 lbs.<br />
SB45878M —<br />
$27.30<br />
Equal Mass SG Metal Cylinder Set<br />
A metal cylinder set of 5 different <strong>materials</strong>: aluminum,<br />
copper, lead, tin, and zinc. Each are machined to an equal<br />
mass on a computer-controlled turning center and their<br />
metal is identified with a stamped symbol on one end.<br />
Since each specimen weighs the same and all are ½" dia.,<br />
this set is ideal for demonstrating reciprocal density and<br />
for computing the specific gravity of each element.<br />
Sh. wt. 0.20 kgs.<br />
SB26243M — $13.05<br />
Density Identification Set<br />
With this clever kit, students try to identify each of 12 different<br />
samples by determining their density. Each cylinder<br />
varies in size (volume) and density, but has the same<br />
diameter of ½". Lengths vary between 1 9 ⁄16" and 2 5 ⁄8".<br />
Includes: 12 of the most common <strong>materials</strong>, wood base,<br />
and instructions. Grades 6—12. Sh. wt. 0.48 kgs.<br />
SB39210M — $47.55<br />
Specific Gravity<br />
Metal Specimen Set<br />
Four cylinders of copper,<br />
brass, steel, and aluminum. 7<br />
mm dia. x 50 mm long.<br />
Sh. wt. 0.23 kgs.<br />
SB10371M — $11.45<br />
Set of 18 Density Blocks<br />
Excellent for experimenting with density and volume.<br />
Includes 10 mm cube, 20 mm cube, and 30 mm<br />
x 20 mm x 10 mm block of six metals: aluminum,<br />
brass, copper, lead, steel, and zinc. Sh. wt. 2 lbs.<br />
SB45749M — $47.55<br />
Density Cubes<br />
Set of four 1" density cubes containing one each of nylon,<br />
acrylic, aluminum, and pine wood. Grades 6—12.<br />
Sh. wt. 0.31 lbs.<br />
SB44474M — $14.95<br />

Diverse Material Equal Volume<br />
Specimen Set<br />
This equal volume set is comprised of four ½" dia. cylinders<br />
of widely diverse <strong>materials</strong>: aluminum, glass, plastic (PVC),<br />
and wood. The set is used for specific gravity, as well as<br />
measurement education. Each specimen is 5 cm long and<br />
the set comes in a reclosable poly bag. Sh. wt. 0.17 kgs.<br />
SB26242M — $13.70<br />

Drilled Ball Set<br />
Ideal for collision and pendulum<br />
applications, this ball set consists of 14 balls of seven<br />
<strong>materials</strong>. Includes two balls each of aluminum, brass,<br />
copper, iron, lead, zinc, and wood. 1" each.<br />
Sh. wt. 2.25 lbs.<br />
