Set of 5 Equal-Mass Blocks – 20 g
SKU: PHY5034
Product Description
Educational set of 5 blocks made from different materials, each with the same mass of 20 g.
Because each block is made from a different metal, the blocks have different volumes and dimensions depending on the density of the material. This allows students to clearly observe that materials with the same mass can occupy different volumes.
An excellent hands-on tool for studying mass, volume, density, and the physical properties of materials.
Materials Included
The set contains five 20 g blocks:
| Material | Mass |
|---|---|
| Aluminum | 20 g |
| Brass | 20 g |
| Copper | 20 g |
| Iron | 20 g |
| Zinc | 20 g |
Total mass of all 5 blocks: 100 g
Educational Principle
All five blocks have the same mass, but their volumes differ because each material has a different density.
This allows students to observe that:
Objects with the same mass can have different volumes
Different materials have different densities
A denser material occupies less volume for the same mass
Mass, volume, and density are directly related
The fundamental relationship studied is:
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
Educational Applications
This set can be used to:
Compare different materials with identical mass
Observe differences in volume between metals
Study density experimentally
Identify materials based on their physical properties
Compare experimental results with accepted density values
Develop observation, measurement, calculation, and data-analysis skills
Perform quantitative experiments using balances and measuring instruments
