  1. “Cups and Stuff” This power point created by Susan Jacobs, NWISD

  2. Mass vs. Weight • Before we get started, let me clear something up. • Mass is not the same as weight! • Mass is the amount of MATTER an object contains. • Weight is a measure of the PULL OF GRAVITY on an object. • Today, we are working with MASS!

  3. Materials Needed • 5 plastic cups per group • Triple beam balance or pan balance • Gram stackers or paper clips if using a pan balance (*raisins, rice, beans, macaroni, cereal) or any 5 items that you have!

  4. Let’s set up your journal… Hypothesis: 9/25 Cups and Stuff Pg# (Draw your cups here.) • Question: What object has the most mass? • Materials: • Balance • Cups • Macarooni • Cereal • White Rice • Counters • Paper Clips (used to weight with) • Hypothesis: • I believe that ________ has the most mass because … I believe ________ has the least mass because… Heaviest Lightest (Draw another set of cups here.) Heaviest Lightest Raisins Beans Mac Rice Cereal (List the materials on each cup in the order you believe they are from heaviest mass to lightest mass. This is your hypothesis.) EX. Now graph your results. Pg #
