100
Anything that takes up space and has mass. It is also made of particles.
What is matter?
100
Mass describes the amount of matter in an object.
What is mass?
100
Density is a measure of the amount of mass in an object.
What is density?
100
Volume is the amount of space taken up by matter.
What is volume?
100
The scientific method is a series of steps that every scientist follows during an experiment.
What is the scientific method?
200
It always has mass, weight, volume, and density.
What properties define matter?
200
Weight is the amount of gravitational force in an object.
What is weight?
200
No, because density is how tightly packed together the particles are in an object.
Will 2 objects density be the same if the masses are the same?
200
For objects with well defined shape, you usually use the volume formula, which is Length x Width x Height, or LxWxH. For objects with an irregular shape, you usually use Water Displacement, or Displacement. For liquids,
What are the 2 ways to find volume?
200
The first step is to observe, then ask questions, ask a hypothesis, then to test and observe the hypothesis you made, then gather the results of the testing, and to draw conclusions.("Is my hypothesis correct?") The last step is to communicate and to send your results to scientists around the world.
What are the steps of the scientific method?
300
Matter is made of molecules, atoms, or particles.
What is matter made up of?
300
Mass and weight both describe an amount is an object or item. They also both depend on the amount of particles or matter.
What are some similarities between mass and weight?
300
You can find it by simply dividing the mass by its volume. The formula for density is density=mass divided by volume. Density is measured by mass per unit volume, or grams per unit cubic centimeters.
How can you find an objects density if you know the mass and the volume of the object?
300
You take a ruler and measure the length, then the width, then the height. You then multiply them together as the final step.
How do you use LxWxH?
300
The scientific method is important because it is the basic structure of all experiments. If you take away one of the steps, the whole method will be messed up.
How is the scientific method important?
400
No, because the properties that define matter are mass, weight, volume, and density.
If an item does not have mass, is it matter?
400
Mass describes the amount of matter in an object. It is also measured using a triple beam scale and measured in kilograms, and grams. Weight is the amount of gravitational force in an object. It is measured using a Spring Scale and measured in N (Newtons) which is about 1/4 of a pound.
List some differences between mass and weight.
400
An object will sink if it has a density greater than the water's density, which is 1 g/cm cubed.
How can density determine whether an object floats or sinks?
400
You usually use a graduated cylinder and you fill it with water. Then you place an object into the cylinder and read the water level. As the final step, subtract the starting water level with the present water level. The difference is the volume of the object.
How do you use Water Displacement or Displacement?
400
The scientific method can help because the steps in the method can guarantee the best result from the experiments scientists perform.
How can the scientific method help?
500
Light and Sound are not matter because they don't take up space.
Is matter EVERYTHING? If yes, explain. If no, give an example and explain.
500
Yes, your mass will always stay the same, but your weight will not because weight is the amount of gravitational force in an object and depends on the object's mass, and Earth's gravitational pull as well.
Will your mass and/or weight always stay the same no matter where you are?
500
No, no matter what you do to the object, the density of the object will always stay the same.
Will density ever change if you do something to it like cutting it in half?
500
Volume will effect the density because density partly depends on volume. If the volume is changed in any way, the density will also have to change.
How will volume effect the density of an object?
500
The method will help because there sometimes are problems that you can't solve and going over the scientific method can help you solve it.
How will the scientific method help all people, not just scientists?
