What does volume measure?

• How much matter is in an object

• How tightly packed molecules are

• The space something takes up

• The color of an object

Which of these are common units for measuring volume?

• Kilograms and grams

• Milliliters and cubic centimeters(cm3)

How can you find the volume of an object using water?

• By weighing the object in water

• By dropping the object in water and measuring how much water it displaces

• By freezing the water around the object

• By heating the water with the object inside

What does density describe about an object?

• Its color

• How tightly packed its molecules are

• How much space it takes up

• How much it weighs
