Lesson 3: Measuring Matter Essential Questions: Unit: Chemistry Lesson 3: Measuring Matter Essential Questions: 1.) Describe the units used to measure mass and volume 2.) Explain how to determine the density of a material
Think About It… Remember the riddle about the sand and the feathers? Although they weigh the same, a kilogram of sand takes up less space than a kilogram of feathers. The volumes differ because sand and feathers have different densities.
Density is the measure of the mass of a material in a given volume
