This set of simple metal cylinders is a convenient tool for students to investigate density, specific gravity, and specific heat. Each cylinder masses 30 g and is 0.5 inches in diameter. Students will get hands-on as they weigh, measure, and perform calculations to better understand density and other physical properties of matter. Contains cylinders of Brass, Aluminum, Tin, Copper, and Zinc.

Product Details

This 5-piece cylinder set offers students a diverse range of densities from 2.7g/cm³ to 8.8g/cm³ for a well-rounded study of different metals. Perfect for physics classrooms, these samples facilitate investigations into density, specific heat, and specific gravity.

Understanding density is paramount in various real-world scenarios:

*Engineers and Architects need to understand density to select the best materials for the job. This knowledge helps them make the most suitable choices based on factors like strength-to-weight ratio, buoyancy, and thermal properties.

*Testing density is a key way of discovering flaws and inconsistencies in manufactured products.

Products being sold are not toys. They are for Educational / Laboratory use only. They are not for use by children 12 and under.
