1  I choose appropriate units of measurement for mass GOAL AUSVELS LEVELS 5&6: MEASUREMENT- LENGTH, AREA, VOLUME, CAPACITY AND MASS

2 APK The mass of a wombat is about 26 kilograms. What equipment would you use to measure the mass of a koala? What might the mass of these be? a kangaroo a possum a whale

3 NEW INFORMATION We usually measure mass in grams or kilograms Grams can be written as g Kilograms can be written as kg 1000 grams = 1 kilogram 1000 kilogram = 1 tonne Example 4 kg is the same as 4000 g 6500 g is the same as 6 1/2 kg 3500 kg is the same as 3 1/2 tonnes Go to Activity

4 NEW INFORMATION We usually measure mass in grams or kilograms Grams can be written as g Kilograms can be written as kg 1000 grams = 1 kilogram 1000 kilogram = 1 tonne Example 4 kg is the same as 4000 g 6500 g is the same as 6 1/2 kg 3500 kg is the same as 3 1/2 tonnes

5 In Interactive Notebook Year 5s and Year 6s: Frameworks 5 (pg 263) – Activity 10 (parts 1, and 2) APPLICATION (PRACTICE)

6 NEW INFORMATION People often use "weight" to mean "mass", and vice versa. An object has mass (say 100 kg). This makes it heavy enough to weigh 100 kg

7 NEW INFORMATION Gravity causes Weight An objects weight is how hard gravity is pulling on it. We think the weight is the same everywhere... because we all live on the surface of the planet Earth! But in space it would not push on the scales at all. The scales would show 0 kg... but the mass is still 100 kg! An object's mass doesn't change (unless you remove some!), but its weight can change.

8 In Grid book Refer to practical in Frameworks 5 (pg 264) APPLICATION (PRACTICE)
