Measuring Matter
Directions: Choose the correct answer.
1. We measure the
mass and
volume of matter.
➤ *Explanation:* In science, matter is quantified by its mass (amount of stuff) and volume (space it occupies).
2. The amount of matter that makes up space the object occupies is called
volume.
➤ *Explanation:* Volume is the three-dimensional space an object takes up.
3. We use
tools / instruments to measure matter.
➤ *Explanation:* This is a general term — specific tools include rulers, scales, beakers, etc., depending on what property (length, mass, volume) you’re measuring.
4. The measurement of the distance from a given point A to a given point B is
length.
➤ *Explanation:* Length measures how far apart two points are in one dimension.
5. A ruler, yardstick and measuring tape is used to measure
length.
➤ *Explanation:* All these tools measure linear distance or length.
6. The amount that a container can hold is called its
capacity (or
volume).
➤ *Explanation:* Capacity refers to how much a container can hold (usually liquids or granular materials), which is essentially its internal volume.

Directions: Choose the name of the measuring tool.
*(From left to right)*
-
Graduated cylinder (or
measuring cup) — Used to measure liquid volume.
➤ *Note:* The image shows a Pyrex measuring cup with volume markings — commonly used in kitchens or labs for liquids.
-
Measuring tape — Used to measure length, especially for flexible or curved surfaces.
➤ *Note:* It’s flexible and marked in inches/centimeters.
-
Balance scale — Used to measure mass (or weight).
➤ *Note:* This classic double-pan balance compares masses by balancing objects against known weights.
