PROPERTIES OF SOLID

AIM To characterise the properties of solid.

APPARATUS AND Weighing scale, measuring cylinder,
MATERIALS small stone, and water.

STEPS

1. Press a small stone with your hand and observe for any changes
in its shape.

2. Weigh and take the 3. Pour water into the 4. Put the stone into the

5. Calculate the volume of the stone using the following formula.

Volume of = reading of final volume – reading of initial volume
