    This document contains instructions and results for a physics experiment measuring density. Students were asked to: 1. Measure the length, diameter, volume, and mass of cylindrical objects using various tools. 2. Calculate and record the density of each object. 3. Determine the average density, standard deviation, and percentage error compared to the accepted value. 4. Plot a graph of mass versus volume and use the slope to calculate density. The purpose was to learn techniques for precise measurement and to understand how density is determined from other physical properties of materials.
