Density Cubes - 2.5cm³ - Set of 10

This set of ten 2.5cm ³ density cubes is a versatile resource for exploring material properties, buoyancy, and the principles of mass and volume. Each cube is made from a different material, offering students the opportunity to compare weights, floatation behaviours, and calculate density through hands-on experimentation.

The cubes represent both natural and synthetic substances, aiding discussions on industrial and scientific applications of material science.
