Volume

Volume Equivalence

What are the Implications?

How Much Mass in This Ice Cube?

Volume vs Capacity VOLUME How much space an object or substance takes up. CAPACITY How much a container can hold.

Mass or Weight? Mass: The amount of matter (stuff) in an objective or substance. Mass is measured with a triple beam balance. Weight: How much gravity pulls on the mass of an object or substance. Weight is measured with a spring scale.
