100

The ability of an object to transfer heat or electricity to another object.

The ability of an object to transfer heat or electricity to another object is thermal conductivity.

100

The amount of space an object takes up is __________.

The amount of space an object takes up is volume.

100

What two properties to I need to have in order to calculate density?

What is mass and volume?

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
Is your mass different on the moon than it is on Earth? Explain
The amount of matter you take up does not change if you go here.
200

Describe the molecular structure of a very dense object.

The molecules are packed close together with very little movement in a dense object.

200

An rock has a density of 3g/cm3, will this object show buoyancy in water? Explain.

The rock will not be buoyant  in water because the density of the rock is greater than the water.

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.
300

What is the density of water?

The density of water is 1g/cm3.

300

Density's unit of measurement is ________________.

Density's unit of measurement is g/cm3 (grams per centimetres cubed)

400

The ability of an object to carry electric current

The ability of an object to carry electric current shows electrical conductivity.

400
Using a ruler, name one way you can find the volume of an object.
What is length x width x height?
400

The formula to calculate density is __________.

The formula to calculate density is d= m/v.

400

What tool can be used to measure volume?

A graduated cylinder is a tool that can be used to measure volume.

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

If an object is more dense than the water then the objects will (sink or float).

If an object is more dense than the water then the objects will sink.

500

What tool is used to measure mass?

A pan balance is one tool that can be used to measure mass.
