I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the period, each student:
a) Identifies the general properties of matter
b) Conducts an experiment about the properties of matter
c) Perceives the importance of the properties of matter to everyday life
Differentiate mass and weight. Mass is the amount of matter present in a body
while weight is a force that results from the
gravitational pull to an object. Mass does not
change under all conditions, weight varies with
location and strength of gravity on an object.
Can mass and weight be interchanged? Weight and mass can be used interchangeably as
long as we are on the earths surface.
Whats the difference between mass and volume? Mass is the amount of matter in an object while
volume is the amount of space that an object
occupies.
How does density relate to an objects mass and Density is obtained by dividing the mass to its
volume? volume.
V. ASSIGNMENT
1. Calculate the mass of a block of Iron (p=7.86 g/ml) with dimensions 52.8cm x 6.74cm x 3.73cm.
2. Calculate the density in g/ml of a piece of metal that has a mass of 12g and occupies a volume of
1.6 ml.
3. A cube of lead measures 3.0 on each edge and has a mass of 308g. Calculate the density in g/cm3.
