Which of the following would you measure using a balance? mass

Using one or more of your senses to gather information is called observing.

If you conduct an experiment and draw conclusions that are based on your beliefs rather than the facts, you are using subjective reasoning.

Mass and weight are different because weight measures the force of gravity on an object and mass is the amount of stuff in an object.

qualitative observations. Observations that deal with descriptions that cannot be expressed in numbers are called qualitative observations.

The metric system of measurement is based on the number 10
