Density Set – 10 Material Cubes
Model Number: MTM-32
The Density Set – 10 Material Cubes from Micro Technologies is a comprehensive laboratory collection designed for practical studies of density, mass, volume and material properties. It contains 10 one-inch density cubes made from acrylic, aluminium, brass, copper, maple, nylon, pine, poplar, PVC and steel, supplied in a convenient storage box for organized laboratory use.
Product Specification
The Density Set – 10 Material Cubes from Micro Technologies is designed for physics and material science laboratory experiments involving density, mass, volume and comparative properties of different materials. By providing ten specimens with the same nominal cubic dimensions but different material compositions, the set offers a clear and practical method for demonstrating why equal-sized objects can have significantly different masses.
The complete set contains 10 one-inch cubes, each manufactured from a different material. The included materials are acrylic, aluminium, brass, copper, maple, nylon, pine, poplar, PVC and steel.
This selection provides a broad comparison between metals, polymers and woods. Students can physically compare specimens from different material groups and investigate how their properties vary despite having similar external dimensions.
The regular cubic geometry makes volume determination straightforward. The dimensions of each specimen can be measured using a suitable ruler, Vernier Caliper or other laboratory measuring instrument, and the volume can be calculated from its measured length, width and height.
Each cube can then be weighed using a suitable laboratory balance. Once mass and volume have been determined, density can be calculated using the relationship:
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
Since the specimens have approximately comparable volumes, their different masses provide a direct visual and physical demonstration of differences in material density.
The metallic specimens—aluminium, brass, copper and steel—allow comparison between several commonly studied engineering and laboratory materials.
The polymer specimens—acrylic, nylon and PVC—provide useful examples for comparing synthetic materials with metals and natural materials.
The wooden specimens—maple, pine and poplar—expand the experiment to natural materials and help demonstrate that density varies not only between broad material groups but also between different types of wood.
Students can arrange the cubes according to measured mass or calculated density and compare their experimental observations with appropriate reference values.
The Density Set is also useful for material identification activities. Unknown or concealed specimens can be investigated by measuring mass and volume and comparing the resulting density with known material data.
The specimens can support discussions about why material selection is important in engineering and product design, where weight, density and material properties influence practical applications.
For accurate quantitative investigations, the actual dimensions and mass of each specimen should be measured rather than assuming every cube has exactly the nominal one-inch dimensions.
A dedicated storage box is supplied with the set, helping keep all ten specimens organized and reducing the likelihood of individual cubes becoming misplaced between practical sessions.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Density Set is suitable for physics laboratories, material science laboratories and educational institutions requiring a comprehensive collection for density and material-comparison experiments.
