Density = Mass/Volume = g/cm3
1. Measure the sides of each large cube with a ruler to determine the volume. Then determine the mass using the scale. Complete table with the density.

Graph mass against volume. Label each data point. Arrange samples in order of increasing density. Using the table on the back of this sheet, determine the substance in the black square.
2. Determine the density of some BBs. Describe below the steps you took to do it, the density value, and your hypothesis as to what they are made of.
How did you determine the volume of the BBs?
How did you determine the mass of the BBs?
What is the density of a BB? (Show calculation)
What is the BB made of?
