• Measure of how much matter an object is made up of.

• Measure the object's weight.

• Measure of the effect of gravity on the object.

Weight is measured in....

• Kilograms (kg)

• grams (g)

• kilometres (km)

• Newton (N)

Mass is....

• A measure of how much matter an object is made up of.

• A measure of the effect of gravity on the object.

• A measure of the distance.

The unit in measuring mass is....

• Newton

• kilograms (kg)

• litre (l)

• kilometre (km)

Do you think that weight and mass change when gravity changes?
