Mass, Volume, Distance & Density Flashcards
Unit used for volume when multiplying length times width times height
Cubic centimeters (cm3)
The basic metric unit for measuring mass
Gram
Unit used when measuring volume using water displacement
Milliliters (mL)
Unit used when measuring the length, width, or height of an object in the science lab
Centimeters (cm)
Unit used for density when the volume is found by measuring length times width times height
Grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3)
Unit used for density when the volume is found using water displacement
Grams per milliliter (g/mL)
The amount of space an object takes up
Volume
The amount of “stuff” in an object
Mass
The amount of “stuff” in a given amount of space
Density
Unit used when measuring with a graduated cylinder
