Density Cubes for Plastic
Product Code : JA-DE-7317
Density Cubes for Plastic (product code JA-DE-7317) are a set of five plastic density cubes, each 20 mm. Set beside metal cubes of the same size, the plastic cubes show how much lighter a non-metal can be for the same volume, and they are close enough to the density of water to start a useful discussion on floating and sinking. The set suits middle school and secondary science as well as introductory physics practicals.
Specifications
The set has five plastic cubes, each 20 mm, so each has a volume of 8 cubic centimetres, matching the other 20 mm cube sets in the density range.

Applications of the plastic density cubes
Plastic cubes give the low-density end of a comparison and let students test predictions about floating and sinking in water.
- Calculating the density of the plastic from mass and volume
- Comparing plastic with wood and metal cubes of the same size
- Predicting and testing whether the cubes float or sink in water
- Introductory density activities in middle school science

Frequently asked questions
How many cubes are in the set?
Five plastic cubes, each 20 mm.
Do the cubes float?
Test it in class: measure the mass, calculate the density and compare it with water, then check by placing a cube in water.
Which cube sets make a good contrast?
Lead and copper at the heavy end, and wood at the light end, all in 20 mm cubes.
