4. Scientists describe and compare objects by _________ some of their characteristics using standardized units. Some of these physical characteristics are ______, ____, and ______. measuring volumemassdensity

5. Volume The space an object takes up regardless of shape.

6. The volume of a liquid can be measured by using a _________ ________ (this is a ________ tool used for measuring liquid ______). The unit that is used to measure liquids is the ____. A liter has the volume of _____ cm 3 (cubic centimeter). The prefix milli- means “___________ (______)”. A milliliter is one thousandth of 1 L, and 1 L has the volume of 1000 mL. One milliliter of liquid completely fills a cube measuring 1 cm on each side. Therefore, 1 mL equals 1 cm 3. graduatedcylinderscientific volume liter 1000 thousandths0.001

7. Draw and label a cubic centimeter…

8. Draw a 100 mL graduated cylinder containing 75 mL of liquid… (Note—we measure the volume of the liquid from the bottom of the curve known as the meniscus)

9. The volume of a solid can be measured by using water ________ or mathematical formulas. To displace means to _____. When using displacement to measure the volume of a solid object we measure the amount of fluid moved by the submerged object. displacement move

10. 1) Fill the graduated cylinder part way with water. The 4 steps to measure volume of a solid object… 2) Measure the starting volume of water in the graduated cylinder. 3) Tie a string to the object (or submerge) and lower it into the water until it is submerged. 4) Measure the ending volume of water in the graduated cylinder, AND find the difference.

12. Mass The amount of matter (stuff) within an object. Mass is measured in grams or g If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth your mass is 45359.2437 grams 1 pound = 453.59237 grams http://www.metric-conversions.org/weight/pounds-to-grams.htm
