Set of 10 Assorted Material Cubes – 1 cm
SKU: PHY0150
Product Description
Educational set of 10 cubes, each measuring 1 cm per side, made from different materials for comparative study of their physical properties, mass, volume, and density.
Because all cubes have identical dimensions, students can directly observe that objects with the same volume can have very different masses depending on the material.
This set is an excellent hands-on teaching tool for physics, science, STEM activities, and school laboratories.
Materials Included
The set contains 10 cubes made from:
Aluminum
Steel
Brass
Copper
Iron
Wood
Cork
Lead
Zinc
Acrylic
Dimensions
Cube dimensions: 10 × 10 × 10 mm
Side length: 1 cm
Volume of each cube: 1 cm³
Quantity: 10 cubes
Number of different materials: 10

| Brass | Metal | 10 × 10 × 10 mm |
| Copper | Metal | 10 × 10 × 10 mm |
| Iron | Metal | 10 × 10 × 10 mm |
| Wood | Natural material | 10 × 10 × 10 mm |
| Cork | Natural material | 10 × 10 × 10 mm |
| Lead | Metal | 10 × 10 × 10 mm |
| Zinc | Metal | 10 × 10 × 10 mm |
| Acrylic | Polymer | 10 × 10 × 10 mm |
Educational Applications
This set can be used to:
Compare the mass of different materials with the same volume
Study the relationship between mass, volume, and density
Calculate density
Identify materials based on their physical properties
Compare metals, polymers, and natural materials
Rank materials according to density
Perform measurements using a laboratory balance
Compare experimental results with theoretical values
Develop observation, measurement, calculation, and data-analysis skills
Educational Value
Since every cube has the same volume of 1 cm³, differences in mass are directly related to the properties of the material.
This makes it easy to demonstrate the relationship:
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
Because each cube has a volume of exactly 1 cm³, the measured mass in grams provides a particularly intuitive way to compare the density of different materials.
The set also allows students to compare a wide range of materials, including lead, copper, aluminum, wood, cork, and acrylic.
