Properties of Materials Kit

Description

This unique kit allows students to make a wide range of investigations with only a small number of items. The kit contains two sets of three metal cylinders – aluminum, copper, and steel. In one set the cylinders all have equal masses, and in the other they have equal volumes. The measuring instruments – cylinder, spring scale, and caliper – measure volume, mass, and length. This combination of items allows for a wide range of basic investigations, addressing the concepts of mass, volume, density and specific gravity and extending to an exploration of buoyancy.
