Lesson Essential Question: What properties define matter?
Page 298: What is matter?

Matter is anything that has ___ ____________and takes up space. Matter makes up all the materials around
you.
2. Of the following choices which two things are not matter:
a. Human body
b. light
c. air
d. sound
Page 299: What is mass?
1.
True or False – Mass can be measured
2. Mass describes the amount of _______ __________in an object.
3. Ins the space provided draw the diagram of the blue balloons and make sure to point out which balloon has
more mass:
_____ _______________balloon when put onto a scale
Deflated Balloon
Balloon with air
has more mass.
4.
Can objects of the same size have a different mass? Yes or No
How does Mass differ from weight?
1.
True or False: Weight and mass mean the same thing.
2. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force ON and object. Gravitational force keeps things objects on
_______ __________.
3. The gravitational force between an object on earth depends partly on its _______ ______.
4. An objects weight can change depending on the objects ________________________.
5. Complete this example: If you are 125lbs. on Earth – you would weigh (more or less) on the moon since it
has less mass on the moon and exerts _____ _______gravitational force. However, your mass on both locations
(would or would not) change!
Page 300: How are mass and weight measured?
1. What tool is used to measure mass?________________ _____.
2. IN the space provided sketch out the a answer to question 1:
a. This is a picture of a
____________________________________, used
to measure ___________________________. This
balance uses coutermasses that slide along each of
the three balances.
3.
A spring scale can measure___________ ___________. This scale measures the force between the mass of
the pan and Earth. So if an object that is more forceful in on the scale then the (more or less) the
attraction is on Earth and the scale will ________ ______________.
4.
In the space provided sketch out an image of a spring scale.
5.
Weight is measured in units of __________________. Force is
Measured in _____ ________. Newton’s are about 1/4th
Of a pound. So if an object is 100 grams of mass on Earth it is
Equal to ________N.
PAGE 301: how is the amount of space occupied by matter measured?
1. True or False
All matter take up space.
2. Volume is the amount of space that an object _______ _________________.
3. Two objects that may have similar mass may not have similar _____________.
4. Draw a bowling ball and blown up balloon. Circle the correct symbol to show which item has more mass:
<
>
a. bowling ball
=
b. blown up balloon with air
**In the above sample scenario**
Some objects that are similar in volume are not similar in mass or weight.
PAGE 302: How can volume be determined?
There are different ways to find the volume of an object:
1. for an object with a well-defined shape you can use a _____________________
2. For objects that are irregular shaped, you can use____________________ ____________________.
3. For liquids you can use a _______________
_________________.
4. The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular = ____ ______X______ ______X____________
5. Solve this formula for volume of a rectangle: L = 5cm W = 2cm H= 6cm
6. If your units of measurement are in cm when calculating volume your need to change the answer into a
cubed measurement…So what does centimeters cubed look like? _______________
PAGE 304: Using water displacement.
1. IN a lab you can use a _____ __________ or a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of ____
_____________.
2. The volume of a liquid is express in milliliters – or abbreviated as _____ _______.
3. Circle the correct term that best completes this sentence: mL and cmᶟ are_____________________
a. Larger
b. equal
C. less
d. more
4. True or False Two objects can occupy the same space at the same time.
5. _______________________can be used to measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object solid object.
Show in the images below what would happen when using water displacement to measure volume.
10mL
of
water
After inserting the teddy
bear into the graduated
cylinder the water level
moved to 30mL
What would the volume
of the teddy bear
be?______

Lesson Essential Question: What properties define matter?
PAGE 305: What is density?
1.
Mass and volume are properties of all substances. These two properties are related to another property
called________ ________________.
2. Density is: a measure of the ____ ________of mass in a given volume.
3. True or False: Objects containing the same amount of mass can take up different amounts of space.
4. The density of a substance will remain the _______ ______ no matter how much of the substance you have!
**dividing a piece of something into half does not change the density of that substance**
PAGE 306: How is density determined?
1.
Units used for density are grams per cubic centimeter for a solid. How would you abbreviate that
measurement?__________ _____________.
2. If density is measured for a liquid then you would write it as: _________ ________.
3. To find the density of an object what would the formula look like?____ __________.
