List the two properties of matter that are needed to measure density and explain why you need to measure both |
Two properties are: Mass and Volume. You need to measure both to tell the kinds of matter apart. |
List the following metric units from smallest to largest: Meter, millimeter, kilometer, centimeter. |

3; Color, Shapes and Sizes |
How are an object’s mass and weight different |
An objects mass is the same no matter where it is. an objects weight is different depending where the place is at. |
What tool do we use to measure the mass of an object? |
Balance |
What is mass? |
the amount of matter it has in it. |
What is volume? |
Amount of space that the object takes up. |
What is density? |
Measure of matter in a certain amount of space. |
In an object floats in water, what does that tell you about its density? |
It has less density than water. |
What two properties do you need to measure in order to determine the density of an object? |
Volume and mass |
What is buoyancy? |
How well an object floats in a gas or liquid. |
How would you measure the volume of a liquid. |
You would use a cup with numbered units on its side or a graduated cylinder. |
