The Properties of Matter. How can we measure matter? Read and think. 1. Read and answer the

2
00:00:09,259 --> 00:00:16,719
questions. A. Which property of matter can you measure with a jug of water? B. Which property

3
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:22,780
of matter can you measure with scales? C. What do we need to know to measure density?

4
00:00:22,780 --> 00:00:32,439
Matter has three properties, volume, mass, and density. Volume is the amount of space

5
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:40,439
that matter occupies. The unit of measurement for volume is cubic centimeters, so cm to the third

6
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:48,539
degree. A football has a bigger volume than a tennis ball. It's true because it's much bigger.

7
00:00:48,539 --> 00:00:58,020
mass is the amount of matter in an object we measure mass in grams and kilograms we use scales

8
00:00:58,020 --> 00:01:04,180
to measure mass usually if you're a baker and you're at home baking bread for instance you

9
00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:11,980
need to measure the amount of flour right and usually you use a scale finding the mass and

10
00:01:11,980 --> 00:01:19,159
volume of a stone we can use scales to find out the mass of a stone right we can use a measuring

11
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:26,959
jug and water to find out the volume of a stone. Fill the measuring jug with water up to the 500

12
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:35,359
milliliter mark. Place the stone in the jug. The volume of stone makes the water level rise

13
00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:44,760
at the rate of one milliliter equals one cubic centimeter. Subtract 500 milliliters

14
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:52,799
from the new water level. 600 milliliters minus 500 milliliters is 100 milliliters.

15
00:01:53,239 --> 00:02:02,019
100 milliliters equals 100 cubic centimeters. The volume of the stone is thus 100 cubic centimeters.

16
00:02:03,459 --> 00:02:10,699
Density is the amount of mass that there is in the volume of an object. Ooh, tricky. To find out

17
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:19,439
the density of an object, we divide its mass by its volume. Compare the density of these two

18
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:26,780
different stones. So the volume of the first stone is five cubic centimeters, and its mass is 12.5

19
00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:35,080
grams. So what do we do? We divide its mass, 12.5 grams, divided by five cubic centimeters,

20
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:45,819
its volume. So its density is 2.5 grams over cubic centimeters. Now let's look at the other

21
00:02:45,819 --> 00:02:54,840
stone. So again, we divide its mass, 15 grams, by its volume, 7.5 cubic centimeters, which comes

22
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,819
out to 2 grams over cubic centimeters.
