2. PROPERTY
A property is something that can be
observed about an object or a group
of objects.

3. MASS
The amount of matter in an object.
Mass is measured in kilograms or
grams. 1kg = 1,000grams

4. WEIGHT
It is how strongly gravity
pulls on an object.
Weight is measured in
newtons(N), 1N =
0.225 pounds (lbs)

5. VOLUME
Measures how much space matter takes up.
Volumes of liquid are often measured in milliliters
(mL).
Volumes of solid is usually measured in cubic
centimeters (cm³).
A volume of 1 cm³ = 1mL

7. MATTER
Is anything that has mass and volume.

8. DENSITY
Is the amount of mass for each cm³ (or
mL) of a substance.
Density =
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠
𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒

9. FLOATING AND SINKING

10. BUOYANCY
Is the resistance to sinking.
It occurs because the liquid that is
being pushed out of the way pushes
back the object.

11. SURFACE TENSION
If an object is spread over the surface,
it can rest on this skin even if it would
not normally float.

12. STATE OF MATTER
Is one of the three common forms that
matter can take: solid, liquid, or gas.
