Density = Mass
Volume
To find the density of a solid:
Find the mass of the block.
Find the volume of the block using (length x width x height)
Use the equation to find density.
#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 = (2x3x4) #1/#5

Follow up questions:
Which two blocks were made out of the same material?
How do you know?
Does a larger block always have a higher density?
