Matter Has Volume (p. 4)
Mark each of the following statements True or False.
5.
True
An object’s volume is the amount of space the
object takes up.
6.
True
Things with volume can’t share the same space at
the same time.
7.
True
When you measure a volume of water in a graduated cylinder, you should look at the bottom of the
meniscus.
8.
False
A liquid’s volume is usually expressed in grams or
milligrams.
9. The volume of solid objects is expressed in
units. One milliliter is equal to
.
10. What three dimensions do you need to find the volume of a
rectangular solid object?
Matter Has Mass (p. 6)
12. List the following objects in order from the least mass to the
greatest mass: an elephant, a hamster, a skyscraper, the moon.
13. The mass of an object should be constant, yet the mass of the
puppy in Figure 5, on page 7, will change over time. Explain.

11. You can’t use a ruler to measure a gas, and you can’t pour it into
a graduated cylinder. So how do you find its volume?

The Difference Between Mass and Weight
14. Why does all matter experience gravity?
a. All matter has volume.
b. All matter has mass.

(p. 7)
c. All matter is constant.
d. All matter is stable.
15. Look at Figure 6 on page 7. As two objects get

, the force of gravity between them
increases. (closer together or farther apart)
16. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an
object. True or False? (Circle one.)
17. A brick weighs less in space than it does on Earth. Why?

18. Why do people tend to confuse the terms mass and weight?
(Circle all that apply.)
a.
b.
c.
d.
Both remain constant on Earth.
People use the terms interchangeably.
Mass is the same thing as weight.
Mass is also dependent on gravity.
Measuring Mass and Weight
19. The unit for

20. How do mass and inertia make it easier to pick up an empty
juice bottle than a full juice bottle?

9. The volume of solid objects is expressed in

units. One milliliter is equal to

10. What three dimensions do you need to find the volume of a
rectangular solid object?
You need to know the object’s height, width, and length to find its volume.
You can find the volume of a gas by measuring the volume of its container
because a gas expands to fill its container.
Matter Has Mass (p. 6)
12. List the following objects in order from the least mass to the
greatest mass: an elephant, a hamster, a skyscraper, the moon.
hamster, elephant, skyscraper, the moon
13. The mass of an object should be constant, yet the mass of the
puppy in Figure 5, on page 7, will change over time. Explain.
Sample answer: The mass of the puppy is not constant because matter is
slowly being added to the puppy as he grows.

17. A brick weighs less in space than it does on Earth. Why?
A brick weighs less in space than it does on Earth because the gravitational
force exerted on it by the Earth decreases as it gets farther away from the
Earth.

20. How do mass and inertia make it easier to pick up an empty
juice bottle than a full juice bottle?
A full juice bottle has more mass than an empty one. More mass means
more inertia. Because it has more inertia, a full juice bottle is harder to put
into motion.
