Understanding Volume and Mass

What is volume?

• The weight of an object

• The amount of space something takes up

• The mass of an object

• The temperature of a liquid

Which unit is NOT used to measure volume?

• Milliliters (ml)

• Liters (L)

• Cubic centimeters (cm³)

• Grams (g)

If you pour water from a tall, thin glass into a short, wide bowl, what happens to the volume of water?

• It increases

• It decreases

• It stays the same

• It depends on the temperature

What is mass?

• How much space an object takes up

• How much an object weighs on Earth

• How much "stuff" is in an object

• How fast an object falls

If you took an apple to the Moon, what would happen to its mass?

• It would increase

• It would decrease

• It would stay the same

• It would become zero

Which of these is affected by gravity?

• Volume

• Mass

• Weight

• Color

Why do astronauts seem to float in space?

• They have no mass

• There is no gravity in space

• Their weight is very low due to less gravity

• They are always falling

If you weigh 50 pounds on Earth, how would your weight compare on Jupiter?

• You would weigh less

• You would weigh the same

• You would weigh more

• You would have no weight

Which statement is true about mass and weight?

• Mass and weight are always the same

• Mass changes depending on location, but weight stays the same

• Weight changes depending on gravity, but mass stays the same

• Both mass and weight change depending on location

Which object is likely to have a large volume but a small mass?

• A brick

• A balloon filled with air

• A gold coin

• A cup of water
