Matter, mass, volume and density worksheet - Free Printable

Let's solve the problem step by step.

---

1. Write volume (V) or mass (M).

We need to identify which statements describe volume and which describe mass.

#### Statements:
- You can measure it with a scale or balance.
- Mass: A scale or balance is used to measure mass.
- Answer: Mass (M)

- You can measure it in grams.
- Mass: Grams are a unit of mass.
- Answer: Mass (M)

- You can measure it with a measuring cup.
- Volume: A measuring cup is used to measure volume.
- Answer: Volume (V)

- The amount of matter an object contains.
- Mass: Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
- Answer: Mass (M)

- The amount of space matter occupies.
- Volume: Volume is the amount of space occupied by matter.
- Answer: Volume (V)

- You can measure it in liters.
- Volume: Liters are a unit of volume.
- Answer: Volume (V)

#### Final Answer for Question 1:
- Mass (M): "You can measure it with a scale or balance," "You can measure it in grams," "The amount of matter an object contains."
- Volume (V): "You can measure it with a measuring cup," "The amount of space matter occupies," "You can measure it in liters."

2. What are the three states of matter?

The three states of matter are:
1. Solid
2. Liquid
3. Gas

#### Final Answer for Question 2:
$$
\boxed{\text{Solid, Liquid, Gas}}
$$

3. Complete the definition of about density.

We need to fill in the blanks using the words provided: amount, volume, space, mass, density. There is one extra word.

#### Definition:
Density is how much occupies and the contains. You can find the if you divide its by its.

- Density is how much mass occupies and the space contains.
- Mass is the amount of matter.
- Space is the volume occupied by the matter.

- You can find the density if you divide its mass by its volume.
- Density is calculated as:
$$
\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}
$$

#### Final Answer for Question 3:
$$
\text{Density is how much } \mathbf{mass} \text{ occupies and the } \mathbf{space} \text{ contains. You can find the } \mathbf{density} \text{ if you divide its } \mathbf{mass} \text{ by its } \mathbf{volume}.
$$

4. Match each word with its measurement element.

We need to match the words with their corresponding measurement elements.

- Grams or Kilograms: These are units of mass.
- Cubic decimeter or litre: These are units of volume.

#### Final Answer for Question 4:
- Grams or Kilograms → Mass
- Cubic decimeter or litre → Volume

Final Summary of Answers:

1. Mass (M): "You can measure it with a scale or balance," "You can measure it in grams," "The amount of matter an object contains."
- Volume (V): "You can measure it with a measuring cup," "The amount of space matter occupies," "You can measure it in liters."
2. Three states of matter: $\boxed{\text{Solid, Liquid, Gas}}$
3. Density definition: "Density is how much mass occupies and the space contains. You can find the density if you divide its mass by its volume."
4. Match words with measurement elements:
- Grams or Kilograms → Mass
- Cubic decimeter or litre → Volume
