Introduction
The PASCO Model ME-8569 Density Set allows useful
experiments in density, buoyancy force, and specific heat as
well as providing an effective means of distinguishing
between length, volume, and area.
Equipment
The density set consists of six objects:
• aluminum cylinder
• aluminum block
• brass cylinder
• brass block
• polypropylene cylinder
• aluminum irregular shape
Each object has a small hole through which a string can be
tied to suspend the object. The objects in this set can be
categorized in three different ways: those objects having the
same volume, same mass, or same density.
SAME VOLUME
• aluminum cylinder
• aluminum block
