Use the definition of density= weight/volume. Surely, you have an accurate volume measurement, such as a pipette which can transfer a given volume to a beaker which has been weighed w/o water. Now weight it after the water has been added. TA-DA.
(PS. report the temperature, there is a slight dependency of density with temperature. Your experiment probably won't pick it up, but it makes you look smarter. )

Use these items:
Weight balance accurate to 0.001g
25.00 volumetric flask
Put the flask on the balance. Zero the reading on the balance. Fill the flask with water so that the bottom of the meniscus (the curve formed by water in the neck) is at the line on the neck of the flask. Divide the scale reading by 25.00. You now have the density of water to 4 significant digits in grams per cubic cm.

density is mass over volume (g/m^3), so weigh water and pour it into a box which you can eaily find it's volume ( width x length x height) then divide these 2 numbers. it should be 1 ish.
