Mass is the total matter in an object, and weight is the downward pull of an object.
Mass is the downward pull of gravity on an object, and weight is the total matter making up an object.
Mass is the volume in an object, and weight is the downward pull of matter on an object.
Weight is mass divided by volume and mass is the same as matter.
Tim has two beakers of liquid at room temperature. He places both beakers on a hot plate. The liquid in Beaker A boils before the liquid in Beaker B.

Beaker B has a higher freezing point
The liquid in Beaker A has less mass
The liquid in Beaker B has a lower density

Trinity has two identical pieces of chocolate cake. She wants to know how much mass each piece has.
Trinity takes one whole cake and places it on one pan of a balance. She then takes the other cake and cuts it into three slices. She puts the slices on the other pan.
What will she observe about the pans of the balance?
The pan with the whole cake will be slightly lower than the pan with the slices.
The pan with the slices will be slightly higher than the pan with the whole cake.
The pan with the whole cake will be completely lowered and the pan with the slices will be completely raised.
Both pans will be balanced equally.
What units do we use to measure mass?
meter
Celsius
kilogram/gram
Newton
