| What is the measurement of the pull of gravity on matter? | Weight |
| 3mL = ___________ kL | .000003kL |
| What is a meter? | A metric unit. It is used when measuring distance or length. |
| What do you call the amount of space that something has or takes up. | volume |
| Is a meter a piece of lab equipment? | No. It is a unit of measurement. |
| What is mass? | How much matter something has... Or how much matter is in something. |
| What is density? | Density is the mass of something compared to it's volume. |
| What is weight? | The force or pull of gravity on matter... Or the force or pull of gravity on something. |
| What tool is used for measuring force or weight? | Scale (Spring Scale) |
| What tool is used for measuring mass? | Balance (triple beam, pan or digital) |
| What is the base unit for time? | Seconds |
| What is temperature? | The average amount of molecular movement in a specific area of an object. |
| Moving from larger units to smaller units is the same a s multiplying. True or False | TRUE |
| What is the base unit for temperature? | Kelvin (But degrees Celsius is commonly used) |

| What is the melting point of water in celsius? | 0 degrees Celsius |
| What is the boiling point of water in celsius? | 100 degrees Celsius |
| What is a gram? | A metric unit of measurement for mass |
| What is a meter? | A metric unit of measurement for distance or length or height or depth or width... |
| *What is room temp in Celsius? | around 22 degrees Celsius |
| *What is capacity? | The amount of available space inside something |
| Are capacity and volume similar? | Yes, but not the same -they both have to do with space and size. |
| The width of a coin is about as long as what metric unit? | a millimeter (mm) |
| A paper clip has about the same mass as what metric unit? | A gram (g) |
| Are mass and weight similar on earth? | yes -but very different when in space or other places in the universe! |
| Are the melting point and freezing point for a substances the same? | Yes! Melting and freezing happen at the same temperature. It just depends which way the temperature is going. |
| What tool is used to measure the amount of matter in an object? | A balance |
| What tool is used to measure force? | A Spring Scale |
| What is the abbreviation for dekaliter? | daL |
| What is the abbreviation for kiloliter? | kL |
| What is the abbreviation for dekagram? | dag |
| What is the abbreviation for millimeter? | mm |
| Can you convert meters to kilograms? | NO. They are different types of measurements? |
| What is the mass of a 15kg object in outer space? | 15kg -of course! |
| What is the weight of a 15N object in outer space? | Nothing... |
| What is volume? | the amount of space an object occupies. |
| What is mass? | the amount of matter an object has. |

| What is the basic metric unit for mass? | gram (g) |
| What is the basic metric unit for LIQUID volume? | liter (L) |
| What is the basic metric unit for SOLID volume? | cubic meter or cubic centimeter or any cubic metric unit of length |
| Which measurement is constant (doesn't change) through out the universe - Mass or Weight? | MASS! Weight will change with gravity! |
| What is measured with a balance? | mass |
