How Much Matter

1. NotesNotes

2. The student will:
 Make accurate
measurements using the
International System of
Units (SI-metric)

3. The student will:
 Select and use appropriate
tools for gathering data

4. The student will:
Use mathematical concepts
to collect, analyze and report
data

5. The student will:
Investigate and determine
physical properties of matter

6. The student will:
Calculate mass, volume of
substances

7. Physical Properties
Mass
Volume
Mean
Median
Mode
Range

8.  The traits that can
be easily observed
by using the five
senses
 Color – Red, blue , etc.
 Texture – Smooth or rough
 Shape – Round, jagged,
square etc.
 Conductivity - Allows heat or
electricity to pass
 Size – Large, small
 Luster - Shiny or dull
 Hardness – Soft - hard

9.  The amount of matter
in an object or
substance
▪Measured with a
triple-beam-balance
▪Measured in grams
(g) or Kilograms (Kg)

10.  The amount of space
something takes up
 Liquids are measured in
milliliters (mL)
 Solids are measured in cubic
centimeters (cm3
)
▪ For a regular solid such as a cube , measure
the length (l) the Height (h) and the width
(w). Then multiply l x h x w to get the
volume
▪ For an irregular solid use the water
displacement method using a graduated
cylinder

11. Mr. Kershes ……….
NOT!

12. The average in a
series of numbers
when they are first
added and then
divided by the
number of addends
6+8+5+4+2
+10 +7= 42
42/7 = 6
Mean = 6

13. The middle
number in a series
of numbers when
they are put in
order from lowest
to highest
 6, 8, 5, 4, 2, 10 , 7
 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
 6 is the median
number

14. The most
frequently
repeated
number/value
in a series of
numbers
2, 4, 5, 6, 6,
6, 7, 8, 10
6is the Mode

15.  The difference
between the
highest and the
lowest numbers in
a series of numbers
 It can be written as
Lowest – Highest or
as the numerical
difference between
the lowest and
highest numbers.
 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 10
▪ Range Lowest t o
Highest  2 – 10
▪ Range difference =
