Metric Madness
Convert 1000 mm into meters.
What is 1 meter?
A tool used to measure mass
What is a balance or scale?
The amount of matter in an object; it does not change with location
What is mass?
The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, like a cardboard box
What is length x width x height?
? = mass divvolume
What is density?
2.5 L = how many mL?
What is 2500 mL?
A tool used to measure liquid volume
What is a graduated cylinder?
The force of gravity acting on an object’s mass; it changes depending on location
What is weight?
The unit you use to measure the volume of a water bottle
What is Milliliters or Liters?
The density of an object has a mass of 20g and a volume of 5 cm³
Hint: don't forget units!
What is 4 g/cm3?
3.6 kg = how many g?
What is 3600 g?
A base unit used to measure length in the metric system
What is a meter?
The measurement that changes if you go to the Moon
What is weight?
The volume of a box with the following measurements:
Length = 10 cm
Width = 2 cm
Height = 3 cm
Hint: don't forget units!
What is 60 cm3?
The density of water
What is 1 g/mL ( or 1g/cm3)?
4.5 cm = how many mm?
What is 45 mm?
A method used for measuring the volume of an irregular solid
What is water displacement?
An astronaut weighs 180 lbs on Earth. Would they weigh more, less, or the same on the Moon?
Less, due to a weaker gravitational pull
A tool you would use to measure the voume of a marble
What is a Graduated Cylinder (using water displacement)?
An object has a density of 0.8 g/cm³. Will it float or sink in water?
Float, because it is less dense than water
0.009 km = how many cm?
What is 900 cm?
A place to take the measurement when reading a graduated cylinder
What is the bottom of the meniscus?
The planet where your weight would be the greatest
What is Jupiter?
The amount of space an object takes up
What is volume?
Explain how two objects with different masses and volumes can have the same density.
Because density is a ratio—if their mass-to-volume ratio is the same, their density will be the same
