Volume 1. Volume is the amount of space an object takes up 2. Volume can be measured for liquids and solids.
Volume (cont. ) 3. Liquids – The basic unit for liquid volume is the Liter ______________L_____________ 4. The instrument used to measure liquid volume is the graduated cylinder 5. When measuring liquid volume you measure to the meniscus
Volume (cont. ) 6. Solids Basic unit of solid volume is cubic meters (m 3) n n n n cubic kilometer- km 3 cubic hectometer- hm 3 cubic decameter- dam 3 cubic meter-m 3 cubic decimeter- dm 3 cubic centimeter- cm 3 cubic millimeter – mm 3 7. The instrument used to measure solid volume is a meter stick.
There are 2 Ways to Measure Solid Volume n Length x Width x Height Water Displacement using a graduated cylinder Steps n 1. Record the volume of the water in the cylinder 2. Place the object in the cylinder and record the new volume 3. Complete the following math problem: Measurement 2 – measurement 1 = volume of the object
Bell Work 8/19/10 1. 2. 3. 4. What is volume? What is the basic unit for liquid volume? What is the basic unit for solid volume? How do you calculate the volume of a solid?

1. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. 2. The basic unit for mass is a gram ______________g____________ 3. The instrument used to measure mass is a triple beam balance
Bell Work 8/23/10 Please use complete sentences. n n What is mass? What instrument is used to measure mass?
Bell Work 8/24/10 Please use complete sentences. n n n What basic units do we use to measure volume? What basic units do we use to measure length? What basic units do we use to measure mass?
Density 1. 2. Shows a relationship between mass and volume To calculate density we divide mass by volume n 3. d=m/v Units for density depend on size of object n n Large objects = kg/L Small objects = g/m. L
Bell Work 8/25/10 Find the density of an object with 1. m=50 g v=5 m. L 2. m=200 kg v=2 L
Temperature 1. 2. 3. 4. Measured in degrees Celsius Instrument = Theremometer Freezing = 0 degrees Celsius Boiling = 100 degrees Celsius
