Mass
Mass
Mass
is the amount of matter an
object has
Matter:
The material that all objects
are made up of
What
is the difference between mass
and weight?
Weight
is the amount of gravitational
pull on an object
The basic unit of mass is the…
The
basic unit of mass is the gram.
Example: The weight of one sugar packet
US nickel weighs
about 5 grams
Some objects that are
measured in grams or gm
include:
* paper clips
* pencils
* erasers
Units smaller than gram
A
unit smaller than a gram is called?
Milligram
One
gram is how many milligrams?
1000
Medications
are measured in
milligrams or mg
Ex: 1 Ibuprofen tablet = 200 mg
Unit larger than a gram
Unit larger than gram is Kilogram or kg
1
kilogram is how many grams?
1000
One kilogram is little more
than 2 pounds (2.2 lbs.)
One pound bar bells
Problem
* If a paper clip is 10 grams, how
many will you need to have
1 kilogram of paperclips
1000 divide by 10 = 1000
10 =
100 paperclips
* Why use the number 1000?
Because, there are 1000 grams in
kilogram
What are some objects whose masses
can be measured in kilograms.

you think of other
objects?
Let’s think about this one!!!!
If one kilogram is 1000 grams and one gram is
1000 milligrams, how many milligrams in a
kilogram???
Hint: You will multiply
1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000 or 1 million
So, 1 kilogram = 1,000,000 milligrams
How much is 1 milligram?
About a pinch is salt
Measuring Mass
How do we measure mass?
We can use a scale
We can use a triple-beam
balance

Volume
Volume of Liquids
Volume
Volume
is the amount of matter and
space an object takes up
Object
can be solid
Ex: Rock
Object
can be liquid:
Ex: Juice
Object
can be gas:
Ex: Air
The basic unit for volume of a
liquid, is the…………?
The Liter (L).
1000
One liter is……………Milliliters
Remember;
Milli = 1/1000 or
one-thousandth
To measure the volume of smaller
liquids, the _________ is used.
Milliliter (mL)
How many milliliters in one liter?
1000 Milliliters
Problem
The
Coke bottle is 2 liters
How many milliliters is that?
2 x 1000 = 2,000 ml
Problem
The
Minute Maid soda is
half a liter (1/2)
How many milliliters is that?
500 ml
The instrument used to measure the
volume of liquids is called the…
Graduated
cylinder
Laboratory Equipment
What
are these
called?
Graduated Cylinders
What do we measure
with graduated
cylinders?
Volume
Which metric units
are used to measure
Volume?
Liters and milliliters
The
curve on the top
surface of water in the
graduated cylinder is called?
Meniscus
Observing- How do we measure volume?
We
look at the Meniscus
What
The
is it?
curve on the top
surface of water
How
much water is in this
Graduated Cylinder?
53 milliliters or 53 ml
Bonus:
Where did the cylinder graduate from?
Laboratory
Equipment
What is this equipment
called?
A Beaker
What is the Volume of
this Beaker?
250 milliliters or ml
What is Volume?
The amount of matter
and space as an object
takes up
