I'm going to guess that you would estimate a blue whale's mass by scaling up the known mass of a smaller animal. eg. if a smaller whale was weighed on an industrial scale (in a fishing port?)at 15 tons, and the blue whale was 10 times larger by volume (you could calculate its volume from other dimensions) then you could say the Blue Whale was around 150 tons.

The assumption being that whale tissue is all around about the same density.

What is the density of a blue whale i need for a science project?

You would have to know the mass and the volume of your blue whale in order to find the density, or have the average density of the whale given to you. If you have the mass and the volume, then you can find the density using the equation D=mv, where D= Density, m=mass, and v=volume. Or, you can Douglas Adams it and say 42.
