Explore density with real materials
The Density Identification Set challenges students to identify unknown materials by measuring mass, calculating density, and comparing results—turning density from a formula into a true investigative process. The set includes 12 solid cylinders, all with the same 1/2" diameter but different lengths and densities, allowing students to focus on density as an intrinsic material property rather than size or shape.
Why Teachers Love the Density Identification Set
- Inquiry-based learning: Students determine material identity through measurement and analysis, not labels.
- Controlled variables: Uniform diameter keeps comparisons focused on mass, volume, and density.
- Wide range of materials: Includes copper, brass, pine, rubber, glass, Teflon, aluminum, Delrin®, PVC, nylon, lucite, and oak for meaningful comparison.
- Classroom-ready storage: Comes with a drilled block that keeps samples organized and easy to manage.

Product Details
Students identify each of 12 different samples by determining their density. Each cylinder varies in size (volume) and density, but has the same diameter of 1/2”. Lengths vary between 1-1/2” and 2-1/2”. Includes copper, brass, pine, rubber, glass, Teflon, aluminum, Delrin®, PVC, nylon, lucite, and oak rods. A drilled, square block holds rods for convenient storage.
Products being sold are not toys. They are for Educational / Laboratory use only. They are not for use by children 12 and under.
