1. Mass

2. Triple Beam Balance

3. Mass: is a measure of the amount of matter in an object

4. Metric standard for mass is the kilogram (kg) 1kg = 1000 g 1g = 1000 mg

5. Conversions using mass: 5 kg = g 3200 mg = hg

6. Weight:  a measure of the attraction between two objects due to gravity

7.  the amount of force the Earth’s gravity exerts on an object

8. Metric standard for weight is the newton (N)

9. Temperature Temperature In the Metric system temp is measured on the Celsius scale

10.  water freezes at 0  C and boils at 100  C
