    Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Mass is measured using a scale or balance and reported in grams. Weight depends on gravity and can change in different locations, while mass stays the same. Volume is the amount of space an object fills and can be measured for liquids in graduated cylinders or by displacement. Density equals mass divided by volume and determines if an object will float or sink.

    What is matter?

    Matter- anything that takes up space and can be weighed.


    Mass- property of all matter.
    •The mass of an object is the same no matter where the object is

    •The only way to change the mass of an object is to change the amount of matter that
    makes up the object

    How do you measure mass?

    ■It is measure by a scale or triple beam balance.


    ■It’s base unit is grams.

    Mass vs weight
    Weight is a measure of the force of gravity

    An object’s weight can change depending on its location in the universe.

    Volume-
    •An object’s volume is the amount of space it fills
    Measuring volume of a liquid-
    ■Graduated cylinder
    ■Displacement method
    ■Measured in liters (L) & milliliters (mL)

    Measuring volume of regular shaped object (3-D)

    Formula- tells us the number of atoms of each element in a compound


    Units - standards for measurement of physical quantities that need clear definitions to be
    useful

    Measuring volume of irregular shaped object


    If you can’t measure the length, width and height of an object, you must use the
    displacement method
    Displacement method- used to accurately measure the volume of the human body and
    other oddly shaped objects by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when the object is
    submerged
    1. Fill a beaker or graduated cylinder with enough water to completely immerse the
    object in.
    2. Record the baseline initial measurement
    3. Drop the object in
    4. Record final measurement
    5. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume ~ this is the volume of the sphere!

    Measuring the volume of gas-


    ■Since a gas expands to fill its container, if you know the volume of the container, you
    know the volume of the gas.

    What is Density?
    ■Density is the amount of how much space an object or substance takes up
    ■Density equals mass divided by volume
    ■For example, a golf ball and a table-tennis ball have similar volumes. But a golf ball has
    more mass than a table-tennis ball does. So, the golf ball has a greater density.

    Density of Solids

    Which square is more dense? Which square is more dense?


     

    _________number
    _______number
    1_________________________________________________________
    2__________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________
    _____________________________________________________

    Density of Solids
    ■Knowing the density of a substance can also tell you if the substance will float or sink in

    water. Density of water is an object that is more dense than water will sink
