About This Product
Students can weigh a sample, find its volume by displacement in a measuring cylinder and compare the calculated density with the reference ledger to identify an unknown metal. A magnet sorts the set into strongly attracted metals such as iron, cobalt and nickel and weakly repelled ones such as bismuth and copper, and a simple circuit with a multimeter compares how well copper and stainless steel conduct.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can the Metals Set of 20 be used to identify an unknown metal?
Measure its mass and its volume by water displacement, calculate the density, and compare the result with the values in the reference ledger.
