100
How heavy something is. How much gravity pulls on an object.
weight (can change in space depending on gravity on that planet)
100
measures temperature
thermometer
100
Allows you to see objects that are too small to see with a magnifier
microscope
200
how much matter is in an object (similar to weight)
mass (never changes in space)
200
measures the mass of an object
balance
200
protects eyes from liquids and chemicals when doing an experiment
safety goggles
300
the amount of space, measured in cubic units, that an object or substance occupies... how much space something takes up
volume
300
measures air pressure
barometer
300
measures elapsed time in an experiment
stopwatch
400
the ratio between mass and volume. It is a measure of how much stuff an object has in a unit volume. How concentrated the matter is.
density
400
measures the volume of liquids
graduated cylinder
400
heat source used to heat substances in an experiment
bunsen burner
500
Which has more density? A huge beach ball, or a small baseball?
Baseball, its mass divided by volume is higher than the beach ball. small and heavy = high density big and light = low density
500
makes things appear bigger
magnifier
500
used to observe and study objects in space
telescope
