Scientific Measurement

What is mass?

• The amount of matter in an object.

• The effect of gravity on an object

• The amount of space an object takes up

• A force of attraction that holds atoms together

What is volume?

• the measure of the force of gravity

• a measure of the energy of motion of the particles in a substance

• the amount of space taken up by an object or substance

• the measure of how much mass is contained in a given space
