Matter and forces Grade 4
1. MATTER, MASS AND VOLUME Matter: everything with mass and volume. Mass: amount of matter in a body. We measure it in grames and kilogrames. Volume: it´s the amount of space that something occupies. Measure: litres. Density: it expains why some objects float on water and why others sink. We calculate it by dividing the mass of an object by its volume . D= mass volume Example: Cork: 0,25 Kg/l Water: 1,00 Kg/l Iron: 7.90 Kg/l Which one will float? and sink? Why?
