Volume is...
The property of matter that determines the amount of space an object takes up.
Weight is...
The property of matter that determines how heavy an object is.
Density is...
The property of matter that determines sinking or floating.
Buoyancy is...
The property of matter that determines an objects ability to float.
The 3 States of Matter are...
1. Solid
2. Liquid
3. Gas
What do you use to measure volume?
Volumetric equipment, such as a graduated cylindar.
True or False:
Your weight would change on the moon, but your mass would not.
True
If an object sinks, is that object less or more dense than water?
That object is more dense than water.
True or False:
If something sinks, it contains buoyancy.
False
The state of matter of ice is...
Solid
True or false: Volume increase and decrease.
True
True or False:
The heavier an object is, the more likely it is to sink.
False. Sinking and floating has to do with density, not weight.
True or False:
An object is more dense if its particles are spread out.
False. When particles are tightly packed is when they are more dense.
This must be present for buoyancy to exist
Water
What is a property of milk?
A. It takes the shape of its container.
B. It has no smell.
C. It is a solid.
A. It takes the shape of its container.
Santa had a glass of milk. If he added 2 cookies to his glass, what would happen to the volume in his glass?
A. The volume would increase.
B. The volume would decrease.
C. The volume would stay the same.
A. The volume would increase.
Weight measures light vs heavy, or sinking vs floating?
light vs heavy
If you drop a pumpkin into a pool of water, will the pumpkin sink or float?

Max has 10 ml of water in a graduated cylinder. He puts a rock onto the cylinder. The volume in the cylinder is now 20 ml. What is the volume of the rock?
10 ml
Which statement is true about weight?
A. Weight determines volume.
B. Heavy objects sink in water.
C. Light objects float in water.
D. Weight is not the same as density.
D. Weight is not the same as density.
A rubber duck floats, while a nickel sinks. Which item is less dense?
The rubber duck is less dense than the nickel, since the duck is floating, and the nickel is not.
Amy tested the buoyancy of 4 objects in water. Which object is the least buoyant?
Object 1 - float
Object 2 - sink
Object 3 - float
Object 4 - float
Object 2. It does not hold buoyancy, because it does not float.
The change in matter when ice turns to water
