Page 20: Measurement Vocab

A.

• SI

Page 21: Measurement Vocab

Q.

• Amount of space that fills an object

Page 22: Measurement Vocab

A.

• Volume

Page 23: Measurement Vocab

Q.

• A measure of the gravitational force, or pull on the matter in an object

Page 24: Measurement Vocab

A.

• Weight

Page 25: Measurement Vocab

Q.

• Where would a pumpkin weigh more on Earth or on the moon and WHY?

Page 26: Measurement Vocab

A.

• It would weigh more on Earth b/c weight is dependent on the amount of gravity. Earth has 6x more gravity than the moon.

Page 27: Measurement Vocab

Q.

• Where would a pumpkin have more mass… on Earth or on the moon?

Page 28: Measurement Vocab

A.

• A pumpkin would have the SAME mass on the moon and/or on Earth.

• Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

• The amount of matter in the pumpkin does not change, even when it is on the moon.
