1. Organize a notebook page 2. Copy the table in your notebook. Fill in with the correct answer. Definition Matter Mass Weight Volume Unit of Measurement Symbol

g,kg N

3. How do you measure the following: (Explain or provide a diagram) a. mass of a solid, liquid, and solid crystals b. volume of a liquid, a regular solid, and an irregular solid

MEASURING VOLUME
Unit: liters (l) or milliliters (mL)

Liquids Regular Solids (volume = l x w x h) Irregular Solids (Water displacement)

Measuring Volume of a Liquid

Close Up View of Liquid in Graduated Cylinder

The curved surface of the liquid is called a meniscus. As a standard procedure, always read the level of the liquid at the bottom of the curve Source: http://www.lincoln.smmusd.org/staff/burdettet_web/meniscus.html

Explain why?

Mass = 10 g Vol = 20 mL

Density =

Density =

Density =

Mass = 2.5 g Mass = 5 g Vol = 10 mL Mass = 10 g Vol = 20 mL Mass = 2.5 g Mass = 5 g Vol = 10 mL Mass = 2.5 g Vol = 5 mL Vol = 5 mL Mass = 2.5 g Vol = 5 mL

Vol = 5 mL

Density = 10g/20mL = 0.5 g/mL

Density = 5g/10mL = 0.5 g/mL

Density = 10g/20mL = 0.5 g/mL
