Volume (liters) Two ways to calculate volume: Two ways to calculate volume: 1. length x width x height 2. Use a graduated cylinder, this is called displacement this is called displacement

Mass (grams) Amount of matter an object has. Amount of matter an object has. Mass does not equal weight! Mass does not equal weight! Mass is constant where weight is determined by the force of gravity pulling down an object Mass is constant where weight is determined by the force of gravity pulling down an object

Density Measurement of how much matter is inside an object. Measurement of how much matter is inside an object. Density can be calculated using this equation: Density can be calculated using this equation: Density= __Mass__ Density= __Mass__ Volume Volume
