How do we measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object?

Back

We measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object using water displacement in a graduated cylinder.

What is mass?

Back

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

Front

What equipment do we use to measure mass?

Back

We use a balance to measure the mass of an object.

Front

What is the difference between weight and mass?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in the object.
