Measuring density

Measure an aluminium block with a ruler, find a stone's volume by displacement and weigh a liquid in a measuring cylinder, then calculate each density and compare the block with the data-book value.

This simulation supports preparation and data-analysis practice. It does not replace carrying out real practical work.
