SJ Properties of Matter

What is matter?

• The measure of how heavy or light something is for its size

• The force of gravity on an object's mass

• Anything that has both mass and volume

• The amount of space something takes up

What units do we use to measure mass?

• Fahrenheit or Celsius

• Pounds or Newtons

• Centimeters or Inches

• Grams or Ounces

Which property of matter changes depending on the gravitational pull?

• Weight

• Mass

• Volume

• Density

Which of the following determines the ability of an object to float in water?

• How much the object weighs

• What the mass of the object is

• How dense the object is

• The volume of an object

How would you measure the volume of a golf ball?

• By placing it in a room without any gravity

• By placing it in water and measuring how high the water rises

• By placing it on a scale

• By breaking it into tiny pieces and putting them in a beaker

What is density?

• The amount of space that an object takes up

• Anything that is a solid, liquid, or gas

• The amount of matter contained in an object

• The measure of how light or heavy something is for its size

How are mass and volume alike?

• They are only found in solids

• They are measured in grams

• They always stay the same

• They stop existing when an object is placed in water
