This table shows the properties of three

different rocks.

You are given a rock that is included in this table. How can you use the properties to find out which rock you have?

• First look at the color. If it is brown, feel its texture.

• First look at the size. If it is big, look at its texture.

• First look at the shape. If it is oval, look at its color.

• First feel it. If it is rough, look at its size.

Mateo needs 100 milliliters of water for an experiment.

He pours water into a beaker and looks at the measuring marks on the side of the beaker.

What property is Mateo measuring?

Does he have enough water in the beaker for his experiment?

• He is measuring mass. Yes, he has enough water in the beaker.

• He is measuring mass. No, he does not have enough water in the beaker.

• He is measuring volume. Yes, he has enough water in the beaker.

• He is measuring volume. No, he does not have enough water in the beaker.

Danita has two graduated cylinders with the same amount of water. The pictures show what the cylinders look like after she adds a nail and a pencil to them.

• The mass of water becomes greater when a pencil is added.

• The mass of water becomes less when a pencil is added.

• The volume of the pencil is greater than the volume of the nail.

• The volume of the nail is greater than the volume of the pencil.
