Bell Work: Helen was doing a science experiment. She needed to boil 20 grams of tea leaves in 150 mL of water. What piece of equipment will she use to measure the leaves? What piece of equipment will she use to measure the water? What piece of equipment will she use to measure the temperature of the water?

Today’s Goals: Explain that matter takes up space and has mass. By the end of class today, you should be able to… Explain that matter takes up space and has mass. Determine which tools would be best to successfully measure an object’s volume, mass, and weight. Describe the following key terms: Volume, Mass, Weight, Matter.

Is air matter? With a partner… Walk around the room to find evidence that you could use to argue that air is or is not matter. You can only choose one side. Keep up with your notes on page 33 in your composition notebook.
Is air matter? Does air have mass? Does air take up space?
All matter takes up space. What is matter? Matter is anything that… 1. Has mass 2. Takes up space (volume) 3. Made up of tiny particles called atoms All matter takes up space. And…no two objects can be in the same place at the same time.
Know the lingo… Weight Mass Volume the amount of matter in an object Matter—anything that has mass, has volume, and is made up of atoms Weight Volume Mass the amount of space an object takes up space the amount of matter in an object the gravitational force on an object (how heavy it is) Liquid = Measured in liters (L) and milliliters (mL) Solid = Measured in cm³ Graduated cylinder is used to measure volume. The curved surface is called the meniscus. Measured in grams (g) Triple-beam balance Always constant Measured in Newton (N) Spring Scale Can change depending on location
