Quick Answer: The Cylinders with Same Mass are a set of cylinders made of different materials but of equal mass, so their different sizes show directly how density changes volume.

About This Product
Students confirm on a balance that every cylinder has the same mass, then compare their sizes and measure each one to calculate its volume. Dividing the common mass by each volume gives the densities, showing why a denser material needs less volume to reach the same mass.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all the Cylinders with Same Mass equal in mass?
Yes. The cylinders have the same mass, while their size and volume differ with the density of each material.
