Matter MATTERS!

Matter is anything that has:

• mass

• volume

• mass and volume

• substance

Mass is a measurement of:

• the amount of particles a substance has.

• the space an object occupies

Volume is a measurement of:

• the amount of particles a substance has.

• the space an object occupies

How would you find the mass of an object?

• Measure its dimensions with a ruler, and then multiply length x width x height

• Water displacement

• use a balance/scale

• use a timer

How would you find the volume of an irregular shaped object?

• use a ruler to measure its dimensions

• water displacement

• use a balance/scale

• use a timer

How could you determine if a golden penny is made of gold?

• You wouldn't be able to figure it out.

• If it looks like gold, it's gold.

• You would test the properties of the gold penny and compare those to the properties of gold.

• You would guess.
