Zack,Alex,Billy

ZACK is team leader

-Materials and Methods:

 * Cubes
 * Magnet
 * Scale
 * Ruler
 * computer

1. First find the mass of each cube 2. Then find the volume of each cube 3. Now calculate the denisty of each cube. 4. Find density of known objects and see if denisty matches cubes.

-Analysis
Explanation as to how you came to these decisions. Table 5 Final Analysis Data collected from table two shows what we know each cube is made of. Each material has a certain density, so once the densities of each cube were known, it was possible to discover the exact type of material the cube was.
