-Team Members:
Courtney (TL) Victor Colin

-Materials and Methods:
Materials: -10 cubes -Ruler -Triple Beam Balance -Electric Balance -Calculator -Tablet Computer

Methods: 1. Look at the cubes, feel them in your hands, examine them, etc to find a hypothesis of each one, record data on computer. 2. Find the mass of each cube by weighing them on a scale, record data on computer. 3. Measure the length, width, and height of each cube with a ruler, record data on computer. 4. Calculate the volume and density of each cube, record data on computer. 5. Look and feel the cubes to find qualitative data, record on computer. 6. Research density of each cube type on computer, record data. 7. Determine what each cube is.
