| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is mass? | all the matter or particles that are in the object |
| what tool is needed to measure mass? | balance |
| mass is measured in what unit? | grams |
| what is volume? | the space the object takes up or occupies |
| how is volume measured with a ruler? | length x width x height |
| how is volume measured in a graduated cylinder? | displacement |
| what is displacement? | the water level rises because an object is dropped in |
| why does displacement happen? | two objects can not be in the same space at the same time |
| what is density? | a comparison of how many particles are in a space |
| what does density indicate about the object? | How the particles are arranged |
| if the shape of the object is changed to make it float, what is changed? | the volume |
| if the amount of particles in the object is changed to make it float what is changed? | the mass |
| what two measurements are needed to find density? | mass and volume |
| objects with a big density ... | sink |
| objects with a small density ... | float |
| big density | object sinks, particles are tightly packed |
| small density | object floats, particles are loosely packed |
