Matter
#1 What are two examples of matter? You, book, table, air, tree, rock
#2 What is matter? Anything that has mass and takes up space
#3 What is not matter? Light, Sound, Heat
#4 What do all objects have? Matter
#5 How are matter and mass related? All matter has mass
Mass
#1 What is mass? The amount of matter in an object
#2 What are the units for mass? Kilogram, gram
#3 What do we use to measure mass? A balance
#4 How can we change the mass of an object? Only by adding or taking away matter
#5 What is the difference between mass and weight? Mass measures the amount of matter and Weight measures the force of gravity
Volume
#1 What is volume? The amount of space that an object occupies
#2 What are the units of volume? Liter (L), Milliliter (ml), Cubic centimeter (cc)
#3 What do we use to measure volume A fomula using an objects dimensions or displacement
#4 What happens to the mass when the volume changes? Nothing, it stays the same
#5 What is the formula used to find the volume of a rectangular box? V=L x W x H
Density
#1 What is density? Mass per unit volume: grams per milliliter
#2 What would happen to an objects density if it's mass stayed the same and it's volume increased? The density would decrease
#3 What would happen to an objects density if it's mass stayed the same and it's volumed decreased? The density would increase
#4 What is used to measure density? A formula
#5 What is the formula for density? Density (D)=Mass (M)/Volume (V)
Weight
#1 What is weight? The downward pull of gravity on an object
#2 What is used to measure weight? A scale
#3 How could the weight of something change? By a change in gravity
#4 What is the unit for weight? A Newton
#5 What happens to weight when volume changes? Nothing, it stays the same
Final Question
How can you measure the volume of an irregular shaped object? Put it in a graduated cylinder and see how much water it displaces
