How many millimeters are in 1 cm? And... How many centimeters are in 1 m?
There are 10 mm in 1 cm and... There are 100 cm in 1 m (Think about the meter stick)
300
What is the Freezing point and boiling point for water in Degrees Celsius?
Freezing = 0 *C Boiling = 100*C
400
What is all matter made of?
Atom and/or Molecules
400
What must you do when your TBB is rebalanced with the object on it to find the total mass?

400
By what method would you find the volume of a rectangular prism? AND ... What are the units?
Measure then multiply length x width x height AND ... cm^3
400
What is the perimeter of the following rectangle? L= 50cm W= 20cm
50cm + 50cm+ 20cm + 20 cm = 140 cm
400
What is the density of water?
1 g/ml or 1 g/cm^3
500
What is another word or abbrivation for the Metric System?
SI or system international
500
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is not affected by gravity where weight is based on mass and the pull of gravity therefore it changes if gravity changes.

What is the method called to find the volume of an irregular shaped object? And what must you do?
Displacement Fill the graduated cylinder with water then place the object in and calculate the difference in water level by subtracting.
