-Conclusions
table 6: the conclusions to the cube density experiment
 * cube || type ||
 * 1 || copper- because of color and density- steel ||
 * 2 || aluminum- because of density ||
 * 3 || brass- densities were close and colors were matching ||
 * 4 || nylon- density matched research - pvc ||
 * 5 || zinc - density matched the researched we found - copper ||
 * 6 || poplar- the color, and density matched very close ||
 * 7 || PVC- the density matched what we found in our research - nylon ||
 * 8 || Pine- the colors, and density matched ||
 * 9 || Oak- The color and the desities matched our research ||
 * 10 || Acrylic- the color and transparency matched exactly ||

-Analysis
How did you come to these decisions? To find out what the cubes really were we researched each possibilty and looked at their color. If two colors were a lot alike we would research their mass and density.
