Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. All objects, liquids, solids, and gases are examples of matter. Volume is the amount of space an object occupies and is measured in milliliters (mL) for liquids using a graduated cylinder or by seeing how much water is displaced. The volume of solids can also be calculated using length x width x height. Gases expand to fill their container, so their volume is the same as the container's volume. Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is measured in grams (g) using a calibrated triple beam balance by adding up the values of the riders.

1. What is Matter? Matter is everything around you!

2. All matter has…… Mass Volume &

3. Examples of Matter Pencil, book, car, etc. That includes you  Anything that has mass & volume

4. What is Volume? The amount of space taken up or occupied by an object

5. How do we measure the volume of LIQUIDS? Use a graduated cylinder *Make sure you look at the bottom of the meniscus We need to measure how much water was displaced Measured in mL (milliliters) Meniscus

6. How do we measure the volume of SOLIDS? For irregularly shaped objects, use a graduated cylinder to see how much water is displaced (mL) We can use a formula to calculate the volume of certain objects Ex: L x W x H for a rectangular prism (Measured in cm 3 or m 3 )

7. How do we measure the volume of Gases? A gas expands to fill its container; so, if you find the volume of the container the gas is in, then you know the volume of gas

8. What is mass and how is it measured? Mass is the amount of matter that something is made of. Example: Elephant = A LOT of matter = LARGE MASS Paperclip = very little matter = SMALL MASS *Make sure the balance is calibrated to 0 before you begin! We measure mass with a triple beam balance. Add the value of the riders to find the mass in grams (g)
