Measure Matter Practice

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space that an object occupies, usually measured in milliliters (mL) or liters (L).

Front

How do you measure the volume of a liquid?

Back

You can measure the volume of a liquid using a graduated cylinder or measuring cup, reading the measurement at eye level.

Front

What happens to the water level when an object is placed in it?

Back

The water level rises by the volume of the object submerged in the water.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg).

Front

How does removing an object from a container affect its mass?

Back

Removing an object from a container decreases the mass of the container.

Front

Which has a greater mass: a box of feathers or a box of sand?

Back

The box of sand has a greater mass because sand is denser than feathers.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of an object using water displacement?

Back

You can calculate the volume of an object by measuring the initial water level, submerging the object, and then measuring the new water level. The difference is the volume of the object.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for volume?

Back

The unit of measurement for volume is milliliters (mL) or liters (L).

Front

If a graduated cylinder shows 50 mL of water and rises to 65 mL after adding an object, what is the volume of the object?

Back

The volume of the object is 15 milliliters.

Front

What is the purpose of a balance scale?

Back

A balance scale is used to measure the mass of an object.
