  • 4 piece specific gravity metal cylinder set. Set includes Aluminum, Zinc, Copper & Steel. Each cylinder measures 1.5" (38mm) in length and is 0.4" (10mm) diameter
  • Excellent for physics classrooms. Metal cylinders have a wide range of educational applications for all grade levels, including density investigation, specific heat and specific gravity exploration
  • Set includes a complete instruction manual that gives a background on density, specific gravity & specific heat and includes inquiry based student activities with capture sheets
  • 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 the item 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.


Set includes a complete instruction manual that gives a

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

  • Great for physics classrooms
  • Useful for specific heat, specific gravity and density experiments

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.

I love this but it is way too small

Great product at a great price, but I had to do research to figure out which one was zinc and which was steel. No marking or any way to tell if you're not fimailiar already. I do love them though!

I'm not sure what other people would use these for, but they were perfect for my son's science fair project. He put them in salt water and watched them corrode over time. They were the perfect size for this project.

I expected them to be a bit longer. Not labeled, but easy enough to figure out. Good enough for an introduction to density, but I would not use them with glass cylinders.

I ordered them for a science class demonstration. They are very small--smaller than I would have thought. They do a great job for a density activity with a small group of students. But, you can't really hold them up in front of the class.

My daughter used these for a science fair project. She submerged them in water for a few weeks to test if they would rust. It is hard to find small samples of these types of metals so they worked great for the project.

Exactly what I wanted I just wish that they were marked what they were.

These rods are about 2 - 2.5 inches in height. My only remark, is that I wished the metals were marked, as the aluminum and zinc are easy to confuse
