5. Weight Weight: The measure of the Weight: The measure of the gravitational force exerted upon an object on Earth We use a SCALE to measure weight

6. Weight a minute… Weight is varied on where the object is in relation to the Earth (or any large body in the universe) Weight is varied on where the object is in relation to the Earth (or any large body in the universe)

9. Units?...we don’t need no stinkin’ units!!! Every measurement has a common unit of measurement that accompanies it Every measurement has a common unit of measurement that accompanies it

10. Well, What Is Matter Then? Matter: anything that mass and takes up space Matter: anything that mass and takes up space Everything is made up of matter, therefore everything has…

11. I can’t hear it…turn it up!!! Turn what up???? VOLUME: the amount of space an object takes up 1.You can use the mathematical equation: volume of cube= length x width x height 2. Use a graduated cylinder 3. See how much water it displaces by placing it in water

12. More units? Yes, more units… Yes, more units…

13. It’s Getting’ Hot In Herre… Temperature: a specific degree of hotness or coldness Temperature: a specific degree of hotness or coldness We measure this with the usage of a thermometer, but what type of thermometer????

14. Are We There Yet??? More Units!!!!
