Complete Density Kit – Assorted Metal Blocks

Product Description

A comprehensive educational density kit designed for hands-on investigations of mass, volume, density, and material properties.

The set contains assorted metal blocks made from six different materials and supplied in multiple dimensions. By comparing blocks of different materials and sizes, students can investigate how material type and volume influence mass and calculate density experimentally.

The blocks are supplied in a transparent storage case, making the kit easy to organize, transport, and use in classrooms and laboratories.

Ideal for physics, general science, STEM activities, laboratory demonstrations, and inquiry-based learning.

Materials Included

The kit includes samples made from:

• Aluminum

• Zinc

• Lead

• Copper

• Brass

• Iron

Block Size and Material Table

Nominal configuration: 6 materials in 3 different dimensions.

Available Block Dimensions

The set contains blocks in three nominal sizes:

• 10 × 10 × 10 mm

• 20 × 20 × 20 mm

• 20 × 30 × 10 mm

These different dimensions allow students to compare both equal-volume samples and different-volume samples.

What Students Can Investigate

Using this kit, students can:

• Measure and compare the mass of different metals

• Determine the volume of cubes and rectangular blocks

• Calculate density using mass and volume measurements

• Compare materials having the same dimensions

• Compare samples of different sizes

• Relate mass to volume

• Identify unknown materials by comparing calculated density values

• Investigate characteristic physical properties of metals

• Develop measurement, calculation, observation, and data-analysis skills

Key Features

• 6 different materials

• Multiple block sizes

• Includes cubes and rectangular blocks

• Transparent storage case

• Reusable solid specimens

• Suitable for balance and density experiments

• Excellent for classroom demonstrations and student laboratory work

• Supports physics, chemistry, general science, and STEM instruction

Educational Value

This kit provides a practical way to demonstrate that objects of identical dimensions can have different masses when they are made from different materials.

Students can also observe that samples made from the same material change in mass as their volume changes.

These comparisons help reinforce the fundamental relationship:

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

The kit is particularly useful for introducing students to experimental measurement, proportional reasoning, material identification, and quantitative analysis.

Typical Activities

• Comparing the mass of equal-volume metal samples

• Measuring density using an electronic or laboratory balance

• Calculating volume from block dimensions

• Ranking materials by density

• Comparing experimental values with accepted density values

• Identifying materials from measured data

• Studying the relationship between mass, volume, and density
