3. 1. Property Word Definition Picture A way to describe matter Examples: color, shape, length, mass, volume, density

4. Word Definition Picture 2. Mass The amount of “stuff” that something has Use a balance beam Gram = Unit of measurement

5. Word Definition Picture 3. volume The amount of space matter takes up. Use a measuring cup or graduated cylinder Liters= Unit of measurement Volume = length x width x height

6. Word Definition Picture 4. density The amount of mass something has “measure of mass per unit Volume” Relative “heaviness” of an object Density = mass/volume

7. Density examples Oil and vinegar salad dressing: The oil floats on the vinegar water mixture, while the solids sink to the bottom. Oil spills: What happens when an oil tanker leaks on the ocean? The oil floats on the water since it is less dense, and this provides some opportunity to clean up the oil spills by skimming the oil from the surface of the water. Ice: Everyone knows that ice floats on water, but did you know that this is an abnormal physical property of solid/liquid state of water? The more normal physical property is for the solid of a compound to sink in its own liquid.
