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)
