-Materials and Methods:
10 Cubes Magnets Triple Beam Balance Ruler Tablet PC

1. Make a hypothesis about which material each cube is made of 2. Measure the length, width, and height of the cubes to find the volume and then graph it in a Quantitative table. 3. Weigh each cube on a triple-beam balance to find the mass and then graph the data in a Quantitative table 4. Calculate the density and add it to a Quantitative table 5. Create a Qualitative table with categories consisting of color, transparency, magnetic,.... and record all results 6. Do further research on the cubes and determine what they are made out of 7. Create a final conclusion using all data and research on what material each cube is made out of
