3. M ASS 2-C OLUMN N OTES

4. M EASUREMENT -A C OMMON L ANGUAGE Mass

5. M ASS

6. The measure of the amount of matter an object contains Matter: The material that all objects and substances are made up of Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter

7. M ASS Units of Mass

8. THE BASIC UNIT OF MASS IN THE SI SYSTEM IS THE… The basic unit of mass in the SI system is the kilogram.

9. W HAT ARE THREE OBJECTS ( OTHER THAN IN THE BOOK ) WHOSE MASSES WOULD BE MEASURED IN KILOGRAMS. Car Teacher’s Desk Desk Top Computer

10. A SMALLER OBJECT’S MASS SUCH AS A PAPER CLIP WOULD BE MEASURED IN Smaller objects such as a paper clip would be measure in milligrams or grams.

11. M ASS 2-C OLUMN N OTES

12. M ASS The Difference Between Mass and Weight

13. H OW WOULD YOUR WEIGHT DIFFER IF YOU WERE TO TRAVEL TO THE MOON ? If you were to travel to the moon your weight would be less. Your weight would be lesser because the force of gravity is less. Weight is a factor of the force of gravity

14. W HY WOULD YOUR MASS STAY CONSTANT IF YOU WERE TO TRAVEL TO THE MOON ? Your mass would stay the same if you were to travel to the moon because mass is the amount of matter that an object contains Since you are still made up of the same amount of “stuff”, your mass would not change

15. W HY DO SCIENTISTS PREFER TO USE THE MASS OF AN OBJECT INSTEAD OF ITS WEIGHT ? Scientists prefer to use an objects mass instead of its weight because mass does not change when the force of gravity does

16. R EADING C HECKPOINT ( PAGE 49): W HAT IS WEIGHT ? The measure of the force of gravity acting on an object

17. WHAT’S IT’S MASS? If an object has a mass of 60 kg on Earth what would it’s mass be on the moon? On jupiter? If an object weighs 100 lbs on Earth would it weigh more or less on the moon? On Jupiter? What is the difference between mass and weight?

18. C ONVERSIONS 1 kg=g 1 g=mg

19. C ONVERSIONS 1 kg=1,000g 1 g=mg

20. C ONVERSIONS 1 kg=1,000g 1 g=1,000mg

21. M ASS Measuring Mass

22. TODAY’S AGENDA 10/22 FTF (Homework Out Please!) Working Independently on 1 piece of paper & using complete sentences 1. In 3-4 sentences describe the difference between mass and weight (definitions are okay). 2. If an object has a mass of 53 kg, what would its mass be on the moon? On Jupiter? 3. If an object has a weight of 500N (N = Newtons) on Earth would it be the same on the moon? Explain why or why not. FTF (Homework Out Please!)

Homework: Picnic in the Park/Double Pan Balance TODAY IN SCIENCE CLASS – Review FTF Review Homework Mass Lab Station 1 - Double Pan Balance Ticket to Leave SWBAT Correctly calculate the mass of 5 objects using a double pan balance and a digital balance. UNIT 3: Metric System

23. USING A DOUBLE PAN BALANCE 1. Set the balance needle to 0 2. Place the object you want to measure in one pan. 3. Place the mass standards in the other pan until the needle is balanced. 4. Add up the total amount of mass standards in the other pan. 5. This equals the mass of the object.

24. MASS LAB STATION 1 - DOUBLE PAN LAB PROCEDURE Select 5 objects (golf ball, glue stick, gem, screw & marble). Make sure the balance is set to 0 (the needles is aligned). Choose 1 object and place it on the left pan of the balance. Estimate the mass of the object. Record on data table. Place standard masses on the right pan until it is balanced. Add up all standard masses on the right pan. Record sum in data table. Repeat with remaining 4 objects. If you finish early move on to Station 2 – digital balance!

25. TICKET OUT Describe the steps of using a double pan balance. Pretend you traveled to the moon and did this same lab. How would your results change?

UNIT 3: Metric System

27. H OW DOES A TRIPLE - BEAM BALANCE WORK ? A triple-beam balance works by comparing the mass of the object you are measuring to a known mass When you use a triple-beam balance, you: 1. Set balance to 0. 2. Place the object on the pan 3. Shift the riders on the beams until they balance the mass of the object Start with the large rider (increments of 100) Next, the medium sized rider (increments of 10) Lastly, the small rider (increments of 0.1)
