=Team Cube Experiment=

-Team Members:
Team Leader- Elizabeth Bailey Ian

-Materials and Methods:
- 10 cubes - A magnet - A triple beam balance - A ruler - Internet (for research)

1. Determine hypothesis 2.Gather qualitative data using the magnet and senses and place in table 3. Gather quantitative data by determining the volume, mass, and then using that information to determine the density 4. Research possible cube substances on the internet 5. Decide on final choices for cubes

-Hypothesis:
Table 1: Hypothesis of Cube Substance
 * Cube 1- || Brass ||
 * Cube 2- || Aluminum ||
 * Cube 3- || Gold ||
 * Cube 4- || Polypropylene ||
 * Cube 5- || Copper ||
 * Cube 6- || Poplar ||
 * Cube 7- || Polystyrene ||
 * Cube 8- || Pine ||
 * Cube 9- || Balsa Wood ||
 * Cube 10- || Acrylic ||

-Qualitative Data:
grain going different ways on some sides || not magnetic || Table 2: Quantitative Data of Cubes
 * Cube 1- || not magnetic; heavy; shiny on the edges; brownish, greyish, greenish ||
 * Cube 2- || light in weight; silvery grey; shiny; not magnetic; ||
 * Cube 3- || gold in color; relatively heavy; not magnetic ||
 * Cube 4- || very light in weight; dark grey, graphite colored; grooves on two sides; not magnetic ||
 * Cube 5- || heavy; little darker than cube 1; not magnetic; greenish, grey, brown; shiny on edges ||
 * Cube 6- || very light in weight; obviously a type of light-colored wood; not magnetic ||
 * Cube 7- || white, off- white; light in weight; grooves similar to cube 4; not magnetic ||
 * Cube 8- || wood; light in weight, but not as light as cube 6; not magnetic; tan to light brown;
 * Cube 9- || wood; grain has holes in it on some sides; slightly heavier than the other wood cubes;
 * Cube 10- || not magnetic; clear; light in weight ||

-Quantitative Data:
