Measuring+Matter

===Measuring Matter ===

**matter**= Anything that has mass and volume.

** properties ** = Something that can be observed about an object or a group of objects.

** mass ** =The amount of matter in an object.

** weight ** =How strongly gravity pulls on an object.

** volume ** =Measures how much space matter takes up.

** density ** =amout of mass per cubic cm or mL (how much stuff is in it for its size). **Mass** Mass is measured on an equal pan balance in kilograms or grams.Doesn't change with gravity. ** Wieght ** More mass= more wieght.Measured in neutons (N).More gravity=more wieght.Use a scale to measure wieght. **Volume** Use a graduated cylinder to measure.Water is measured in mL.Solids are measured in cubic cm. **Density** If it floats it is less dence than water. by:Sam davis
