The Properties of Materials Kit allows students to make a wide range of investigations with only a small number of items. The kit contains two sets of three metal cylinders – aluminum, copper, and steel. In one set the cylinders all have equal masses, and in the other they have equal volumes. The measuring instruments – cylinder, spring scale, and caliper – measure volume, mass, and length. This combination of items allows for a wide range of basic investigations, addressing the concepts of mass, volume, density and specific gravity and extending to an exploration of buoyancy. 

Contents include:

• Equal Volume Metal Cylinders Set – Aluminum, Copper, Steel
• Equal Mass Metal Cylinders Set – Aluminum, Copper, Steel
• Measuring Cylinder, 100ml
• Spring Scale, 2.5N/250g
• Vernier Caliper, stainless steel
