- Mass: The amount of matter in an object. Measured with a balance in grams.
- Weight: The force of gravity on an object. Measured with a spring scale in Newtons.
- Volume: The space an object occupies. For liquids, use a graduated cylinder (ml); for regular solids, use length × width × height (cm³); for irregular solids, use water displacement (cm³).
- Temperature: The average energy of particles in an object. Measured with a thermometer in degrees.
- Density: How tightly packed the particles are. Calculated as mass divided by volume, measured in g per cm³.
- Length: The measurement from end to end. Measured with a ruler in centimeters or meters.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of measuring matter worksheet.
