weight | the measure of the pull of gravity on an object |
gravity | the force of attraction that exists between two objects |
mass | the amount of matter in an object |
grams | base unit of measurement for mass |
volume | the amount of space an object takes up |
Formula for Volume | length x width x height |
A scale used to measure mass | balance scale |
density | a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume |
Formula for Density | mass/volume |
An object with a greater density than that of water will | sink |
An object with less density than that of water will | float |
buoyancy | the ability of an object to float |
