100

This unit is commonly used to measure mass

What are grams

100

Measurement of the amount of space that matter takes up...

Volume

100

This measurement tells scientists how much space an object occupies

What is volume?

100

Observable and measurable features of matter are known as...

Properties

100

This instrument measures the volume of a liquid.

What is a graduated cylinder?

200

This has mass and volume

what is matter?

200

Words that describe matter...

What are properties

200

This method is used to find the volume of an irregular shaped object by measuring how much the water level rises when the object is submerged.

What is water displacement

200

Oil floats on water because it has this property compared to water.

What is a lower density?

200

Which two solids on this list would float in water?

Cork and Oak Wood

300

An object has a mass of 20 grams and a volume of 10 mL. This is the density.

What is 2 g/mL

300

An object with a density greater that 1 g/mL will  generally do this in water.

What is float?

300

We did this to show that more dense substances are "stronger/thicker" than less dense substances.

Layering liquids

300

The two properties of matter that you need a scale to measure...

Mass

Weight

300

These are density cubes.  Which substance pictured here is the most dense?

Tungsten

400

The water level rises from 25 mL to 40mL when a rock is submerged. This is the rock's volume.

What is 15mL

400

Measurement of how much matter is in a substance (That is why it never changes...Even if you go to the moon!)

Mass

400

A larger wooden log floats while a small metal nail sinks becasue of differences in this propery.

What is density?

400

Property of matter that is determined by how close or spread out particles of matter are.

Density

400

Substances can be identified using density because a substances density...

is always the same!

never changes!

500

Two objects have the same volume, but Object A has twice the mass of Object B. Object A has this compared to Object B.

What is twice the density?

500

Measurement of how much matter is in a certain volume of a substance.

Density

500

Two cubes have exactly the same volume. Cube A has a mass of 40 grams, while Cube B has a mass of 80 grams. This cue has the greater density, and its density is this many times greater.

What is Cube B, with twice the density?

500

Property of matter that tells us whether something is smooth or rough.

What is texture?

500

A students cuts a solid block of aluminum in half. This property remains unchanged

What is density?
