mass- is the amount of mattersomething has in it
volume- the amount of space matter takes up
You can calculate volume by multiplying the length of an object times its width times its height.
volume- the amount of space matter takes up
You can also calculate volume by water displacement:
If the water in the graduated cylinderstarts at 200 mL, and goes up to 300mL when you add a coin, you can tell the coin’s volume must be????
weight- the measure of the force of gravity between an object and the Earth.
Click the picture for a cool tutorial on mass vs. weight.
Click the box below to calculate your weight on other planets.
beaker- shorter, fatter (than graduatedcylinders) cylindrical containers used to measure the volume of liquids
grams/kilograms- metric unitsused to measure mass
A 1 liter bottle of water has a mass of 1kg.
A dime or a paper clip has a mass of 1g.
meters/centimeters- metric units used to measure length/height/width
Doorways are oftenabout 1m across Your pinky finger is
about 1cm across.
density – a way of describing matter in which you tell how massive something is for its size

Click the picture below to watch a video of an experiment that brings everything together – air pressure, density, and volume.
What does density have to do with sinking andfloating?
Click the picture below to do an online lab and test objects to see if they will float.
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid in which it is placed.
buoyancy – an object’s ability to float
Click the picture below to watch a video on buoyancy.
conduct/conductor- to conduct meansto allow energy to flow through/a conductoris a material that allows energy to floweasily.
insulate/insulator – to insulate is toprevent energy from moving freely/an insulator is a material that preventsenergy from flowing freely
