• ID Code: A1-03
• Purpose: Demonstrate the concept of density
• Description: This demonstration consists of several bricks of approximately the standard "brick" size and shape, made of various materials such as foam, concrete, steel, and lead. Because the sizes are similar and the weights different, the feature creating the difference must be the density, or mass per unit volume. Invite students to make predictions about which will be heavier, then come up to pick them up and test their predictions.
