Poll

Who do you agree with most?

• Julio

• Chris

Poll

My notes are set up in my journal/binder and ready to go...

• Yes

• No

Multiple Choice

What will the rest of this unit be about?

• Physical Properties

• Chemical Properties

Multiple Choice

What is does the word "properties" mean in this case?

• Amounts of land

• Characteristics of an element/how something looks or is

• Acting polite when i public

Multiple Choice

What is mass?

• The amount of space an object takes up 

• The amount of matter in an object

• The force of gravity on an object

Multiple Choice

Which do you think would have more mass: a pillow or a bowling ball?

• Pillow

• Bowling ball

Multiple Choice

If you went to the moon, would your mass change? Why?

• No, because the amount of gravity stays the same

• Yes, because the amount of gravity changes

• No, because the amount of matter stays same

• Yes, because the amount of matter changes

Example

Take a look at the orange cube on the right. Notice that the length is 6 cm, the width is 4 cm and the height is 7 cm. So if you multiple those three numbers together you get 168 cm³.

Multiple Choice

What is the volume of the pink cube? Remember to use the correct units.

• 25 cm3

• 5 cm3

• 15 cm3

• 125 cm3

Multiple Choice

What is volume?

• The amount of space an object takes up 

• The amount of matter in an object

• The force of gravity on an object

Multiple Choice

Which one has a greater volume?

• The pillow

• The dumbell

Multiple Choice

Which one has a greater mass?

• The pillow

• The dumbell

Multiple Choice

Which object has greater VOLUME?

Multiple Choice

Would I measure this object’s volume with water displacement or L x W x H?  Why?

• L x W x H because the rock is a regular shape

• L x W x H because the rock is a irregular shape

• water displacement because the rock is a regular shape

• water displacement because the rock is a irregular shape

Graduated Cylinder

Graduated cylinders are the tools used to measure liquid volume. Graduated cylinders are tall, thin tubes with evenly spaced measurements labeled up the side. The measurements are in milliliters (mL). You might be familiar with 2-liter bottles of soda. One liter is equal to 1,000 mL, so a 2-liter bottle of soda has 2,000 mL!

Multiple Choice

What is the volume of the water in this photo?

• 6mL

• 6.4mL

• 7mL

• 6.6mL

Multiple Choice

What is the volume of the fish?

• 40mL

• 6mL

• 38mL

• 8mL

Multiple Choice

What is the maximum value this graduated cylinder can measure?

• 1 ml
• 10 ml
• 25 ml
• 50 ml

Multiple Choice

What is the correct value?

• 5 ml
• 15 ml
• 20 ml
• 25 ml

Multiple Choice

What is the volume of water in this graduated cylinder?

• 47 mL
• 50 mL
• 45 mL
• 45.4 mL

Multiple Choice

What is the volume of this prism?

• 16 cubic cm

• 36 cubic cm

• 144 cubic cm

Multiple Choice

If you went to the moon, would your volume change? Why?

• No, because the amount of gravity stays the same

• No, because the amount of space the object takes up stays the same

• No, because the amount of matter stays same

• Yes, because the amount of matter changes

Multiple Choice

What is weight?

• The amount of matter in an object

• The amount of space an object takes up

• The amount of gravity on an object

Open Ended

Does the dog have the same weight as it did on earth? Why?

Open Ended

Does the dog have the same mass as it did on earth? Why?

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• Mass is the amount of matter in an object while weight is the pull of gravity on an object.

• Mass is the pull of gravity on an object while weight is the amount of matter in an object

• Mass and weight mean the same thing

• Mass and weight are both measured the same way

Multiple Choice

If you went to the moon, would your weight change? Why?

• No, because the amount of gravity stays the same

• Yes, because the amount of gravity changes

• No, because the amount of matter stays same

• Yes, because the amount of matter changes

Multiple Choice

Now that you have learned about the differences between mass and weight, who do you agree with?

• Julio

• Chris

Multiple Choice

What is the formula for measuring volume?

• length x width

• length x length

• length + width + height

• length x width x height

Multiple Choice

How can you find the volume of a weird shape?

• You can't

• length x width x height

• put it in water and measure displacement

• cut it into normal shaped pieces

Multiple Choice

What is this measurement tool called?

• Measuring Cup

• Skinny Measuring Cup

• Beaker

• Graduated Cylinder
