1. PROPERTIES OF MATTER Measurable Properties

2. MEASURABLE PROPERTIES Measurable properties are those that can be measured using scientific tools. Today we will learn about the following measurable properties of matter: length, mass, temperature, and volume.

3. LENGTH Length is the measurement of something from end to end. Length can be measured using a ruler, tape measure, or meter stick. An object with greater length will extend past the object with lesser length.

4. MASS Mass is how much matter is in an object. Mass can be measured using a balance with known masses compared to the unknown mass being measured. An object with a large mass feels heavier than an object with a smaller mass.

5. TEMPERATURE Temperature is the measure of heat in an object. Temperature can be measured using a thermometer. An object with a greater temperature feels hotter to the touch than an object with a lower temperature.

6. VOLUME Volume is amount of space an object takes up. Volume of a liquid can be measured with a beaker, graduated cylinder, or graduated syringe. An object that takes up more space has greater volume
