Classify/Classification

• Sort or group together based on shared characteristics

• A metric unit of measurement used to measure small amounts of mass

• Characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the substance, such as color, melting point, or conductivity

• A metric unit of measurement used to measure small volumes of liquid

Relative density

• D=m/v

• The comparison of the density of one material as it relates to another; frequently the comparison is to the density of water (as in sinking or floating)

• A procedure used to measure volume of a solid object by placing it in a known amount of liquid

• A metric unit of measurement used to measure small volumes of solid substances

A metric unit of measurement used to measure small volumes of solid substances

• Displacement

• Matter

• Cubic centimeter, cm³
