| mass is measured with this tool | balance or triple beam balance |
| the units for mass | grams |
| amount of space an object takes up | volume |
| volume is measured with this tool | beaker |
| the units for volume | mL (milliliter) |
| the amount of mass in a certain space | density |
| breaks easily | brittle |
| ability to float in a liquid or a gas | buoyancy |
