Unit: Chemistry Lesson 3: Measuring Matter Essential Questions: 1.) Describe the units used to measure mass and volume 2.) Explain how to determine the density of a material
2
Think About It… Which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of sand?
3
Think About It… Both weight the same- one pound!
4
A scale measures weight Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object
5
A balance measures mass The SI unit is kilograms Mass is the amount of matter in an object
6
Volume is the amount of space an object takes up The SI unit is the cubic meter Calculating Volume for rectangular solids: Length x Width x Height *Find the volume of the cube
7
Calculating Volume for Irregular Solids: 1.) Fill the cylinder with a liquid. What is the volume? 2.) Slide the object in. What is the new volume? 3.) Find the difference: Volume with the object- Volume without the object *Find the volume of the marble

9
Think About It… Which takes up more space, a pound of feathers or a pound of sand?
10
Think About It… A kilogram of sand takes up less space than a kilogram of feathers! They have different volumes and densities!

Density Column Vegetable Oil Water Dish soap Corn syrup Honey

Density is the amount of mass in a given volume The SI unit is g/cm 3 Objects with the same mass but different volumes will have different densities. Objects with different masses but the same volumes with have different densities.
