- Slide 1: Vo lum e , Mass, W e ight
A short review!
- Slide 2: Mass: The amount of matter
an object has.
Matter: Anything that has mass and takes up
space (liquid, gas, solid).
- Slide 3: Mass
• Units: Kilograms (kg)
or grams (g).
• Mass is generally
measured in science
type places using a a
triple beam balance!
• Mass is constant and
only changes with
diets and such.
- Slide 4: More on Mass
• Make sure you “zero
the balance”!
St
ar
t he
re
• What is the mass of
the object on the
balance?
• Start with the biggest
weight and work
toward the smallest.
- Slide 5: Weight: The pull of gravity on
an object.
Remember…gravity changes
throughout our solar system
- Slide 6: Heavy, Dude
• Gravity acts on mass!
• W=m*G
• Weight = mass * gravity
• The force by which a planet or other
such body tends to draw objects
toward its center.
- Slide 7: Volume: The amount of space an
object takes up or contains.
- Slide 8: Volume of Liquids
• Commonly measured
in Liters (L) or
Milliliters (mL).
• Measured using a
graduated cylinder.
• Remember…get eye
level and measure
from the bottom of the
meniscus.
- Slide 9: Volume of Solids
• Commonly measured in
meters cubed (m3) or
centimeters cubed (cm3).
• Measured by L*W*H
(cm3).
• Irregular solids can be
measured in graduated
cylinder.
- Slide 10: Helpful Hints…
• mL = cm3
• So, if a solid
displaces 2 mL of
water in a graduated
cylinder then its
volume is 2 cm3.
• Measure on the
Metric side of the
ruler!
- Slide 11: new day = new ideas
- Slide 12: Observe the four bottles and
their contents.
1. What is the same about each bottle?
2. What is different about each bottle?
3. What do you observe about their
volume?
4. What do you observe about their mass?
5. Put bottles in order from the most dense
to the least dense.
- Slide 13: THE MOST DENSE
#3 (rocks)
#1 (water)
#4 (cotton)
#2 (air)
THE LEAST DENSE
- Slide 14: What is the density of your fridge?
- Slide 15: Density=Mass/Volume
- Slide 16: Where are there the most people?
Where is the population most dense?
- Slide 17: What is density?
Definition:
• the mass of a substance per unit volume
• how many particles there are in a certain
amount of space.
Units: g/ cm3 (the amount of mass in a unit of space)
How to Measure: Find Mass, Find Volume,
Divide M/V, Units.
- Slide 18: Density!
• Mass of cotton bottle (103g)
• Volume of cotton bottle (2L or 2000mL)
• mL = cm3 (2000 cm3)
• Density = 103g/2000 cm3
• Density = 0.05 g/ cm3
- Slide 19: FLOATING
