Mass/Weight
This term describes the amount of matter in an object.
What is mass?
This state has a definite shape and a definite volume.
What is a solid?
All matter is made of these tiny building blocks.
What are particles?
This tool is used to compare the mass of objects.
What is a balance scale?
SI stands for this system used by scientists worldwide.
What is the International System of Units?
This SI unit is used to measure mass.
What is a gram (g)?
This state has no definite shape but does have a definite volume.
What is a liquid?
These are always moving, even when a substance looks still.
What are particles of matter?
When both sides of a balance scale are level, the objects have this.
What is equal mass?
Scientists use the SI system because it provides this.
What is a global or universal language?
This changes if you move to the Moon or another planet.
What is weight?
This state has no definite shape and no definite volume.
What is a gas?
This explains why food coloring spreads through water without stirring.
What is that liquid particles are in motion?
If one side of a balance scale tips down, that side has this.
What is more mass?
This SI unit is used to measure mass in this unit set.
What is grams (g)?
An object that tips a balance scale downward has this compared to the other object.
What is more mass?
This state’s particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.
What is a solid?
When a liquid freezes, this happens to the particales.
What is slow down, move closer together in a tight arrangement.
This property means matter takes up space.
What is volume?
Using SI units helps scientists avoid this when sharing data.
What is confusion or misunderstanding?
Two objects that balance perfectly on a scale have this relationship.
What is equal mass?
This state’s particles move freely in all directions and are far apart.
What is a gas?
This describes the strength of attraction between particles in gases.
What is very weak attraction?
Invisible gases like air can still be measured because they have these two properties.
What is mass and volume?
This is the SI unit for how much space a solid takes?
What is cm3 (centimeter cubed)?
