1. Matter is everything around you!
What is Matter?

2. Matter: a substance that occupies space and has a mass, all physical objects are made of matter, the smallest unit of matter is an atom

3. Examples of Matter Anything that has mass & volume
Pencil, book, car, etc.
That includes you 
Anything that has mass & volume

4. All matter has……
Mass
&
Volume

5. VOLUME Definition Units of measure Instruments
Volume of regular solids,
irregular solids and liquids

6. The space that matter occupies
Can measure the volume of a gas, liquid and solid
Units of measure = mm³, cm³, m³, ml, L, etc
Definition

7. The following instruments can be used to measure volume (V)
Ruler
Tape measure
Graduated cylinder (most common)
Overflow can (less precise)
Instruments

8. How do we measure the volume of LIQUIDS?
Use a graduated cylinder
We need to measure how much water was displaced
*Make sure you look at the bottom of the meniscus
Meniscus

9. Volume Measurement Methods
Matter
Unit of measure
Instrument
Method
Regular solid
mm³, cm³, m³
Ruler or tape measure
V=length x width x height
Irregular solid
mL or L
Overflow can and/or graduated cylinder
Measure V of water that comes out of overflow can
Measure water displaced when placed in graduated cylinder
Liquid
Graduated cylinder
Pour liquid into graduated cylinder
Volume Measurement Methods

10. MASS

11. Mass: an indication of the amount of matter in a substance, calculated in kilograms(kg), grams(g) or milligrams(mg)
Definitions

12. Definitions- continued
Balance: an instrument that measures the mass of an object in grams, also known as a scale
Weight:
the vertical force exerted by a mass due to gravity measured in Newtons (N)
measure of how heavy an object is measured in pounds (lb)
Definitions- continued

13. What is mass and how is it measured?
Mass is the amount of matter that something is made of.
Example:
Elephant = A LOT of matter = LARGE MASS
Paperclip = very little matter = SMALL MASS
We measure mass with a triple beam balance. Add the value of the riders to find the mass in grams (g)
*Make sure the balance is calibrated to 0 before you begin!
