2. Label the least dense substance as wood and color it brown. These cubes are the same size. How
3. Label the substance that has a density of 1 g/cm3 as water and color it blue. can they have different masses?
4. The second most dense substance is iron. Label it and color it dark gray.
5. Find the substance which has a density just slightly less than water.
Label this as ice and leave it white.
6. The remaining substance is aluminum. Label it and color it light gray.
