1. Well- What’s your answer?
LEQ: How does the composition of matter affect its mass, volume and density?
Well- What’s your answer?

2. Anticipation Guide
Before After 1. Mass is the space an object takes up. 2. Density is measure of how tightly mass is packed 3. Volume is how much matter makes up an object.

3. Anticipation Guide
Before After 4. Volume is measured differently for shapes that are uniform (cube) and non-uniform. 5. The reason something floats is because it’s more dense than liquid it is in. 6. Density can not be found directly but instead comes from other measurements.

4. Mass, Volume, Density Mass- Amount of matter in an object
Weight- Amount of gravitational force of an object
Volume- Amount of space an object takes up
Density- Compactness of an object (distribution of particles)

5. Vocabulary in Context
The mass of the crowd gathered in town, but the mass of the book was 100 grams.
The weight of the world was on his shoulders, but the weight of the boy was 85 pounds.
The volume of the TV was very loud, but the volume of the milk carton was 1 gallon.
The density of the person was frustrating, but the density of the iceberg was less than the ocean.

6. Measurement Mass- balance (grams) Weight- scale (lbs)
Volume- Displacement in
water (amount of H2O
with object – amount of
H2O without it) – Ml / cm3
Density- Mass / Volume (g/ml3)

8. Do Now
Draw a sketch of what happened during the demonstration yesterday.
Then explain why the coke sank and the diet coke floated even though they have the same volume (355ml)…

9. _______ + ______ + _______ = ________ g
Measuring Mass
We will be using triple-beam balances to find the mass of various objects.
The objects are placed on the scale and then you move the weights on the beams until you get the lines on the right-side of the scale to match up.
Once you have balanced the scale, you add up the amounts on each beam to find the total mass.
What would be the mass of the object measured in the picture?
_______ + ______ + _______ = ________ g

10. Measuring Solid Volume
10 cm
9 cm
8 cm
We can measure the volume of regular object using the formula length x width x height.
_____ X _____ X _____ = _____
We can measure the volume of irregular object using water displacement.
Amount of H2O with object = ______ Amout of H2O without object = ______ Difference = Volume = ______

11. Measuring Volume
We will be using graduated cylinders to find the volume of liquids and other objects.
Read the measurement based on the bottom of the meniscus or curve. When using a real cylinder, make sure you are eye-level with the level of the water.
What is the volume of water in the cylinder? _____mL
What causes the meniscus?
A concave meniscus occurs when the molecules of the liquid attract those of the container. The glass attracts the water on the sides.

12. Measuring Liquid Volume
What is the volume of water in each cylinder?
Images created at A B C
Pay attention to the scales for each cylinder.

13. Ratio of a substance’s mass to its volume
Density
Ratio of a substance’s mass to its volume
Mass / Volume = Density

14. Measuring Mass – Triple-Beam Balance
1st – Place the film canister on the scale.
2nd – Slide the large weight to the right until the arm drops below the line. Move the rider back one groove. Make sure it “locks” into place.
3rd – Repeat this process with the top weight. When the arm moves below the line, back it up one groove.
4th – Slide the small weight on the front beam until the lines match up.
5th – Add the amounts on each beam to find the total mass to the nearest tenth of a gram.
