Measuring Mass
Use the Triple Beam Balance to Measure Mass Enter your data on our Edit Grid

1. SI helps scientists share and compare information in a similar unit of measurement. 2. Centimeters can be used to measure the height of a desk. The volume of a textbook could be expressed using cubic centimeters. 3. Area is the measure of how much surface an object has. Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.

Density of a Marble
We wrote up plans for finding the density of a marble last week. Now it is time to use our plans. Our question to answer is, "How does the density of 5 marbles compare to the density of 1 marble?" Add your data to our edit grid Use a table like this in your notebook.

Mass and chemical change
Does mass change as substances undergo a chemical change? Students are doing an experiment using Alka-Seltzer. Here is the data in our edit grid.

Physical change and Mass
Does the mass of an ice cube change as the ice melts? edit grid.

The Diver
Did students use their mental powers to make the medicine dropper dive in the bottle? No! Squeezing the bottle put pressure on the dropper. The air in the dropper bulb became compressed and the dropper drew up more water. This made the weight of the dropper heavier and the dropper's weight overcame the buoyant force causing it to sink.

Buoyancy
Here is a link showing a diagram of an aircraft carrier. It looks flat on the top but the hull has to be very large to displace enough water for it to float. [] And here is a picture of a cruise ship, the Queen Elizabeth, out of the water. It has a huge hull! []
