  1. MATTER (SOL 6.4)

  2. MATTER ~ What is matter? ~ Matter is anything that has ______ & _____ __ _____ MASS TAKES UP SPACE ~ Name & draw 5 things that ARE matter.

  3. Is LIGHT matter? Is AIR matter? Does air have MASS? Does light have MASS? Does air TAKE UP SPACE? Does light TAKE UP SPACE? Complete the chart in your notes, and draw and label pictures for each item.

  4. HOW IS MASS DIFFERENT FROM WEIGHT? WEIGHT MASS Mass is a measurement of howmuchmatter is in an object or substance. Weight is a measurement of howstronglyGRAVITYisPULLINGanobjectDOWN. Weightchangeswhengravitychanges…so on the moon where there is less gravity, you will weigh less, but on the sun you would weigh more! MassdoesNOTchange if you travel to another planet. ON EARTH Mass: 64.5 kg Weight: 140 lbs ON MOON Mass: 64.5 kg Weight: 23 lbs ON SUN Mass: 64.5 kg Weight: 3,914 lbs

  5. FINDING THE MASS OF OBJECTS USING A TRIPLE-BEAM BALANCE

  6. To find the MASS (the amount of matter) in an object, you can use a tool called a TRIPLE-BEAM BALANCE TRIPLE-BEAM BALANCE Pan Riders Beams Pointer (at zero)

  7. READING THE MASS ON A TRIPLE-BEAM BALANCE 1)Read the number on the HUNDREDS BEAM 30 grams Add the number on the TENS BEAM 100 grams Add the number on the ONES BEAM *Any marks past the number on the ones beam are to be read as TENTHS using a DECIMAL POINT first. 7.4 grams The object measured on this balance has a mass of: 100 + 30 + 7.4 = 137.4 grams

  8. What is the mass of the object on this triple-beam balance? 300 + 70 + 3.3 = 373.3 grams 70 g 300 g 3.3 g

  12. Let’s practice reading the measurements on some balances.

  13. Let’s find the mass of some objects at your desk! Make sure the pointer on your balance is set at ZERO. Place an object on the pan. Follow the STEP-BY-STEP directions in your notes for READING A TRIPLE-BEAM BALANCE

  14. NOW, FINDTHE MASS OF THE OTHER OBJECTS AT YOUR TABLE & COMPLETE THE TABLE!
