Answer the following questions about matter properties.
1.
Two objects have the same volume, but Object A has twice the mass of Object B. Which has greater density and how do you know?
A.Object B, because it is lighter
B.Object A, because density equals mass divided by volume, and it has more mass in the same space
C.They have equal density
D.You cannot determine density from this information
2.
A large block of Styrofoam and a small steel marble are placed in water. The Styrofoam floats and the marble sinks. What does this prove about density?
A.Bigger objects always float
B.Size alone does not determine sinking or floating -- density matters more
C.Heavier objects always float
D.Steel is lighter than Styrofoam
3.
What does volume measure?
A.Temperature
B.Weight
C.The space an object takes up
D.Color
4.
Why does a rock sink in water while wood floats?
A.The rock is bigger
B.The rock is denser than water, wood is less dense
C.Wood is afraid of water
D.The rock is heavier
5.
What is mass?
A.How much space something takes up
B.How much matter is in something
C.How fast something moves
D.The color of something
6.
If an object has more mass packed into a small space, it has:
A.Low density
B.High density
C.No density
D.Zero mass
7.
What tool is used to measure the volume of a liquid?
A.Balance
B.Ruler
C.Graduated cylinder
D.Thermometer
8.
A heavy object always has more volume than a light object.
9.
Density determines whether an object sinks or floats.
10.
We can use a balance to measure mass.
11.
is the amount of matter in an object.
12.
Density equals mass divided by .
