Mass, Weight, Volume Notes
EQ: How do mass, volume, and weight relate to matter?
Metric Scale Meter Liter Gram
Mass The amount of material an object is made of. Mass does not change with changes in gravity. Measured in grams Measured with a balance
Weight How hard gravity pulls on an object. Weight changes with changes in gravity OR changes in mass. Measured in Newton’s Measured with a scale Weight = mass x force of gravity
Volume Liquid Volume: How much space a liquid takes up Measure with a graduated cylinder in ml. Solid Volume: How much space a solid takes up. Cube Solid? Odd Solid? Use formula V= L x W x H Measured in cm3 Use Displacement Method Measured in ml 1ml= 1cm3
