ReviewReview
What are two advantages to the metric system?
1. Scientists can share & compare data2. All units are based on the number 10.

MassMass
• Amount of matter in an object– how much stuff an object is made of
• Compare a basketball & a bowling ball.• Even thought they’re about the same size
(volume!), they have totally different masses.

MassMass
• Units: gram (g) or kilogram (kg)
• Think About– 1 science book = 1.3 kg– 1 large paperclip = 1
gram – 1 ml of water = 1 gram

MassMass
Measurement Tool: triple-beam balance
• The object’s mass is compared to the balance’s weights

MassMass
Is it affected by gravity?• NO!!!• Whether on the moon or on Earth,
your mass remains the same.

WeightWeight
• The downward force of gravity acting on an object– On Earth, the word “weight” refers to Earth’s
gravitational force on an object. – But “weight” can be applied to any amount of
gravity on any planet

WeightWeight
• Unit: Newton (N) or Pound (lb)
• Think About:– A medium apple = 1 N
– A paperback book = 1 lb
• Measurement Tool: spring scale

WeightWeight
Is it affected by gravity?• YES!!!• Weight is a measure of the force of
gravity.• More gravity? More weight!• Less gravity? Less weight!

Finding the Mass of a LiquidFinding the Mass of a Liquid
• As a group, discuss the following. How do you find the mass of 50 mL of water?
• Can you come up with 3 ways?
• Record your idea in the space.

Finding the Mass of a LiquidFinding the Mass of a Liquid
1. Find the mass of an empty container, then with water, subtract
2. Place the container on the balance, calibrate it, then find the mass of the water
3. 1 ml water = 1 gram, so 50 ml = 50 grams
