Remember to switch lab partners

Goal:
Your group is to accurately determine the density of several irregularly shaped objects.   You should compare the density you calculate with those of known substances.   

Procedure and Apparatus:
You must use Archimedes principle to find the density of three objects.  This will involve using a force probe and the macmotion software. 

Your Lab Report:
You will complete a standard lab report.  Make sure to cite any references you use.   

Prelab:
You were to read the section on Archimedes principle in your text.

A list of densities of various objects.
