Multiple Choice

What is mass?

• how much space something takes up
• the amount of matter in an object
• a synonym for weight
• how much density an object has

Multiple Choice

Why is mass more important than weight to scientists?

• trick question, they are the same
• mass can be found easier
• mass does not change, while weight can change based on gravity
• trick question, weight is more important because mass changes based on gravity
