=Team 4 Cube Experiment=

-Team Members:
Sarah Patrick T.L. Sydney

-Materials and Methods:
10 blocks with numbers calculator Triple beam balance ruler electric scale computer (for researching


 * 1) Find length, width and height of blocks and calculate volume
 * 2) Use triple beam balance and electric scale to find mass of each block
 * 3) Record mass and volume
 * 4) Calculate density using mass divided by volume
 * 5) research each possible material for the blocks
 * 6) Match the materials to the blocks

-Hypothesis:

 * Cube # || Material ||
 * 1 || Brass ||
 * 2 || Aluminum ||
 * 3 || Copper ||
 * 4 || Polypropylene ||
 * 5 || Zinc ||
 * 6 || Oak ||
 * 7 || PVC ||
 * 8 || Balsa Wood ||
 * 9 || Mahogany ||
 * 10 || Polystyrene ||
