2. Measurement-A Common Language Mass

3. Mass  Mass is the amount of matter an object has  Matter: The material that all objects are made up of  What is the difference between mass and weight?  Weight is the amount of gravitational pull on an object

4. The basic unit of mass is the…  The basic unit of mass is the gram. Example: The weight of one sugar packet Example: The weight of one sugar packet  US nickel weighs about 5 grams about 5 grams

5. :  Some objects that are measured in grams or gm measured in grams or gm include: include: * paper clips * paper clips * pencils * pencils * erasers * erasers

6. Units smaller than gram AAAA unit smaller than a gram is called? Milligram OOOOne gram is how many milligrams? 1000 MMMMedications are measured in milligrams or mg Ex: 1 Ibuprofen tablet = 200 mg

7. Unit larger than a gram  U U U Unit larger than gram is Kilogram or kg 1111 kilogram is how many grams? 1000  O O O One kilogram is little more than 2 pounds (2.2 lbs.) One pound bar bells

8. Problem * If a paper clip is 10 grams, how many will you need to have 1 kilogram of paperclips 1000 divide by 10 = 1000 10 = 100 paperclips * Why use the number 1000? Because, there are 1000 grams in kilogram

9. What are some objects whose masses can be measured in kilograms.  Car  Teacher’s Desk  Desk Top Computer  Can you think of other objects? objects? Coolest Car Ever

10. Let’s think about this one!!!!  I I I If one kilogram is 1000 grams and one gram is 1000 milligrams, how many milligrams in a kilogram???  H H H Hint: You will multiply  1 1 1 1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000 or 1 million  S S S So, 1 kilogram = 1,000,000 milligrams  H H H How much is 1 milligram? About a pinch is salt

11. Measuring Mass  How do we measure mass?  We can use a scale  We can use a triple-beam balance balance
