Match each term to its definition.

• a measure of the force of gravity on the object

• Mass

• anything that gas mass and takes up space

• Volume

• a measure of the amount of space matter takes up

• Density

• a measure of the mass of a material in a given volume

• Matter

How do we calculate the volume of a cube or rectangular prism?

• we multiply the length by the width by the height.

  length x width x height

• We add the length and width together and then multiply by the height.

• We divide the length by the width and then multiply by the height.

• We multiply the length by the width and then add the height.

Order the steps of measuring the volume of an irregular shaped object.

• We write down the new volume of the water (with the object inside).

• We drop the irregular shaped item in the water.

• We subtract the volume of the water from the new volume of the water (with the object).

• We put water in the graduated cylinder.

• We write down the volume of the water.
