  • Set of 6 Density Cubes. Set includes Brass, Lead, Iron, Copper, Aluminum and Zinc. Includes a plastic snap top case for convenient storage
  • Each cube features an element stamp for easy identification. Cubes measure 20mm (0.8") on each side
  • Excellent for physics classrooms. Density Cubes have a wide range of educational applications for all grade levels, including density investigation, specific heat and specific gravity exploration
  • Due to the nature of raw metals, some oxidation or corrosion due to humidity and storage may occur. Simply scuff any oxidation off to make cube look brand new again
  • Designed to be used in an educational setting and are not fabricated using ultra high precision machining. Expect tolerances in the +/- 5% range of any stated dimensions (although they are generally much tighter).


Product Description

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.

EISCO Scientific manufactures and supplies lab equipment for education and industry. The company, founded in 1968 and headquartered in Rochester, NY, meets International Organization of Standardization (ISO) standard 9001: 2000.

Density Cube Set - Brass, Lead, Copper, Iron, Aluminum & Zinc

Set of 6 solid density cubes with 20mm (0.8") sides.

Each cube features a stamped element for easy identification. Included metals: Brass (Br), Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Aluminum (Al) and Zinc (Zn).

Includes a plastic, snap top case for easy storage.Excellent for physics classrooms. Density Cubes have a wide range of educational applications for all grade levels, including density investigation, specific heat and specific gravity exploration.

Due to the nature of raw metals, some oxidation or corrosion due to humidity and storage may occur. Simply scuff any oxidation off to make cube look brand new again. These density cubes are designed to be used in an educational setting and are not fabricated using ultra high precision machining. Expect tolerances in the +/- 5% range of any stated dimensions (although they are generally much tighter).

The Eisco Labs Density Investigation series is designed to help students identify and figure out mass, understand the relationship between mass/volume/density, understand specific heat and specific gravity, and other introductory physics and chemistry concepts.

EISCO LABS TRUST LEARN DELIVER science physics biology classroom teaching education products school

Eisco Scientific started over 50 years ago as a small, family-owned manufacturing company serving the science education marketplace. Since then we have grown into a multinational corporation with headquarters located in both India and the United States that serve hundreds of distributors in over 100 countries throughout the world. Our mission is simple; to be TRUSTED by educators, researchers, and scientists throughout the world to design, manufacture, and DELIVER products that allow LEARNING and the development of scientific knowledge.

We produce over 6,500 unique product lines for the science education and scientific research markets. Our core product lines include:

  • Physics – Whether you are studying forces and motion or Schrödinger’s wave equation, we have the apparatus and experiments you need to study those topics and everything in between. Our business started with physics and these products remain a strong product line today.
  • Chemistry & Lab Supplies – It takes a lot of supplies and equipment to study chemistry. It has been said that if you tipped a chemistry classroom upside down, everything that falls out that is not a chemical is a product we manufacture. That includes beakers, burners, tongs, and anything made of glass, plastic, metal, ceramic or cork.
  • Biology –We provide everything a biology classroom needs except for the specimens. Our product line ranges from hundreds of anatomical models, to dissecting equipment, to microscopes and slides.
  • Glassware –We manufacture every piece of glassware you can find in a lab. Our glassware meets various international standards, including ISO and ASTM, and is made from borosilicate 3.3 glass.

The product was exactly as advertised but a week-long shipping delay meant it arrived after I needed it for class. Be sure to order early

I teach chemistry and physics (intro, general and AP). Things that the students can touch and feel are always helpful. Price was fair and their density cubes work well for this

These are metal cubes. They are as described and serve the purpose of being metal cubes as well as any metal cube could. If you want metal cubes, these are a good buy.

I'm biased having access to high-grade density cubes which are costlier and more difficult to find (for comparison or ) Compared to those these are very roughly cut. Basically someone went to a hardware store and bought a square bar of copper, aluminum and so on and used a hacksaw to chop off cube-sized lengths. Each also comes with a crude stamp with the atomic symbol that looks like it was gouged out by hand with a hot stylus. Purity is unspecified but seeing that they weren't made with any sort of quality control to begin with it really doesn't matter. The sixth cube is brass which is pointless because it is an alloy made from copper and zinc. The amounts of each of these two metals is variable so no reference can be established. It was basically thrown in to make the package seem more attractive even though they were probably aware it was a useless addition. Why not replace it with pure zinc instead? Ah, because you can't get bars of zinc Home Depot, that's why.All that being said for many a rough chunk of metal is good enough and you really can't beat the price on a set like this. The most valuable part here will be to have someone unfamiliar with metals feel the difference between, say, lead and aluminum which is nearly as impressive a demonstration as comparing cubes made of magnesium and tungsten (waaay more expensive).

Great set of cubes for my density lab. It is important to note that these cubes have the name of the metal etched into their surface, while the Ajax brand do not. Both are quality sets but I needed unknown metals for my students to perform a lab with. I remedied the problem by taping small pieces of paper with the number of the cube over the name. Problem solved. Both sets are well constructed, although these cubes were a slight bit higher quality in appearance.
