-Team Members:
Nicole (TL) Nikki Richard Connor

-Materials and Methods:
-10 cubes -Meter stick -Electronic Balance -Water -Beaker

1. Make hypothesis about what the cubes are. 2. First the cubes are weighed using electronic balances (measuring in grams) and the answers are recorded. 3. Then using a meter stick measure the width, height, and length of the cubes. Record each answer in grams. 4. Find volume by multiplying width, height, and length. 5. Calculate the density. 6. Complete research on possibilites' densities. 7. Match the cubes to the research.
