Metric and Density

the metric system and density

TermDefinition
Matter anything that has mass and takes up space
Volume the amount of space an object takes up -milliliters and liters(liquid) -cubic centimeters(solid)
Graduated Cylinder tool used to measure the liquid volume when accuracy is important
Meniscus the curve at the surface of a liquid
Mass the amount of matter in an object -same no matter where in the universe -only way to change mass is to change the amount of matter in an object -measured by using a balance -kilograms or grams
Weight measure of gravitational force exerted on an object -varies depending on where the object is in relation to Earth -measured with spring scale and newtons
Inertia the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
Density a way to measure how tightly packed an object is d=m/v
Axis x-axis is independent variable and time y-axis is dependent variable
SI international system of units based on 10
Density doesn't change if the object is double or split in half, the density stills stay the same
Temperature VS Density (indirect relationship) when the temperature rises, the density will decrease
Pressure VS Density (direct relationship) when pressure increases on an object the density increases
Pressure the amount of force exerted on a given surface
Temperature a measure of how fast the particles in an object are moving
Decrease the size of an object and the mass stays the same... density changes
Buoyancy the tendency of an object to float or sink

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
