Study Notes

Measuring Mass

  • Grams are the unit of measurement for the mass of a hamster.
  • The mass of a hamster can be determined using a balance.
  • A balance compares the mass of an object to a known mass.

Measuring Volume

  • A graduated cylinder measures the volume of a liquid.

States of Matter

  • Solids have a definite volume.
  • Liquids have a definite volume.

Measuring Matter

  • Volume is suggested as a better way to measure matter than mass.
  • Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.

Measuring Tools

  • A balance can be used to measure the mass of objects through comparison.

Balance and Mass

  • If both sides of a balance are equal, it indicates that the objects on either side have the same mass.

Defining Volume

  • Volume is a measure of the amount of space an object occupies.

Calculating Density

  • Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume: Density = Mass / Volume
