Volume The amount of space an object takes up
3 ways to measure volume • Liquid Volume • Graduated cylinder • mL • Volume of a Regular Solid • Length x Width x Height • cm3 (3 sides, so it’s to the 3rd power) • Volume by Displacement • Archimedes • Bath tub/ Naked Guy/ Eureka
Volume by Displacement • Get the volume of an Irregular Object • Take a known volume of water • example 50 mL • Place the object in the water • Read the water level 80 mL • Subtract the smaller number from the larger number 80mL - 50mL = 30mL
Mass • Amount of “stuff” in an object • The amount of matter in an object
Density • The amount of matter in a given space • The amount of “stuff” in an area • No way to measure it • Must be calculated • Mass / Volume • g/mL or g/cm3
