WHAT IS MATTER Matter is anything that has mass and
takes up space.
It is the “stuff” that makes up everything in the universe.
Can be a solid, liquid or gas
MATTER TAKES UP SPACE Volume is the
amount of space an object occupies or takes up.
Because matter has volume (takes up space), it cannot share the same space with something else at the same time!
MEASURING VOLUME Volume of liquids:
Use a graduated cylinder
Units: liters (L) or milliliters (mL)
MEASURING VOLUME
Volume of a Normal Shaped Solid Object:Use math!Volume= length (l) x
width (w) x height (h)
Volume of a Weird Shaped Solid ObjectPut it in water!Measure the change in
water
Volume of Solids:
PRACTICE WITH VOLUME! What is the
volume of this box?
What is the volume of this thing?
l = 5 cm
w = 1 cm
h = 2 cm
Volume = l x w x h 5 x 1 x 2 = 10 cm
MATTER HAS MASS Mass is how much there is of an object
The heavier the object the greater its mass
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MASS AND WEIGHT Mass =
The amount of matter in an object
Does not change with location
Weight = The pull of gravity
on an objectChanges depending
on where you are
MEASURING MASS AND WEIGHT
Mass:Use a triple beam
balanceUnits: gram (g),
kilogram (kg), milligram (mg)
Weight:Use a spring scaleUnits: Newton (N)
