100

The ability of an object to float in water or air shows _________________.

The ability of an object to float in water or air shows buoyancy.

100

The unit of measure for volume

The unit of measure for volume is centimetres cubed. 

200
The amount of matter that makes up an object/substance.
What is mass?
200

200

________________ buoyancy means an object/fluid sinks in another fluid

What is negative buoyancy?

200

The unit of measure for mass is _______________.

The unit of measure for mass is grams.

300
The force of gravity acting on an object.
What is weight?
300
Is your weight different on the moon than it is on Earth? Explain.
The gravitational force is much less on the moon than on Earth. Therefore, your weight would be less on the moon.

500

how much light reflects from an object

Reflectivity shows how much light reflects from an object.

500

How would you find the volume of an irregular shape?

Finding volume of an irregular shaped object involves looking at the amount of water it displaces using a graduated cylinder.

500
