1.3 Measuring Work Sheet

1. The document is a worksheet about measuring matter that contains questions and definitions. 2. The questions ask students to calculate the volume, density, and mass of a solid object using given measurements and explain how these properties would be different on the moon compared to Earth. 3. Students are also asked to define key terms related to measuring matter like the International System of Units, mass, volume, density, and weight.

Measuring Matter

Understanding Main Ideas


Use the figure to answer the following questions on a separate sheet of paper.

1. What is the volume of the solid in the figure? Show your work.
Be sure to use correct units of measurement.
150 cm3
2. The solid has a mass of 180 g. What is the density of the solid? Show
your work. Be sure to use correct units of measurement.
1.2
3. Would the solid have a mass of 180 g on the moon? Would it have
the same weight on Earth as on the moon? Explain your answers.
No, because the gravity of moon is different from the moon's gravity.
3. The solid sinks to the bottom when placed in a container of water.
What does this tell you about its density?
Because the density is high.
4. Will every solid with the same dimensions have the same density?
Explain your answer.
No, because maybe there is a difference in the matter or the solid is different
than the other.

Building Vocabulary
Write a definition for each of these terms on a separate piece of paper.

6. International System of Units: Is a system used to measure the properties of


matter.
7. mass: The amount of matter in an object.
8. volume: The amount of space that matter occupies.
9. density: Is measure of the mass of a material in each volume.
10. weight: Is a measure of the force of gravity on you.
