Density and the layers of Earth

Materials:
Density Blocks
Triple Beam Balance
Glassware
Water ( Density: 1 gm/ cm3 )
Rulers
Procedures: ( Show your work for each clock on the back)
1. Measure each block and obtain the volume of each one in cubic centimeters by applying the following
formula:
V= l x w x h
2. Obtain the mass of each block by weighting it on the triple balance
3. Obtain the density of each block by applying the formula: D = mass / volume
4. Predict which block will float by putting them in water one at a time
5. Create a comparative bar graph of block vs density ( on the back). Dont forget to write what does each
axis shows.
