• Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space

• Everything is made of matter that we can see.

• Liquid Volume: Measured by Liters and milliliters

• Meniscus: Where the liquid in a cylinder is measured

• Find the Volume of a solid object: Length x Width x Height

• Measured in cubic units
Object has the length on 5, width of 1, & height of 2
Volume= 10 cubic cm

• Irregularly Shape Volume: Measure the volume of water in a cup then

add the object and measure the volume again then subtract the volumes

• Mass & Weight:

• Mass: The amount of matter in an object. Si unit= Kilogram(KG)
• Weight: Is the measure of the gravitational force exerted(applied to) on
an object SI Unit= Newton(N)
• Important Difference: Mass doesnʼt change weight changes. When on
the moon weight is lighter and mass is the same!!!

• Converting Mass to weight:

• Student has the mass of 45,000 grams = 450 Newtons
• 1 newton= 100 grams

• Inertia: The tendency of the object to resist a change in motion

• The more mass the object has it is harder to move and stop
• Large Mass = Large Inertia
