    1) Measurements of mass, length, diameter, and thickness were taken for cubes, washers, and a marble using Vernier and micrometer calipers. 2) Density values were calculated and compared to standards to determine percentage error. 3) Some measurements had low percentage error while others were less accurate, possibly due to limitations of the equipment or human error in taking measurements.
