Content Objective
I can analyze both mass and weight by comparing and contrasting the tools, processes and units used when measuring each.

S.IP.07.13 Use tools and equipment (spring scales, stop watches, meter sticks and tapes, models, hand lens, thermometers, sieves, microscopes, hotplates, pH meters) appropriate to scientific investigations.
S.IP.07.14 Use metric measurement devices in an investigation.

Language Objective
I can listen, discuss and write to compare and contrast to gain a better understanding of the relationship between mass and weight by completing the following sentence frames.

1)Mass is ______________________________.

2)Weight is different than mass because it depends on ________________.

3)The only way to change the mass of an object is to ___________.

4)To change the weight of an object you can either _______________ or __________________.

5)The tool used when measuring mass is the ___.

6)The tool used for measuring weight is the ___.

7)The unit used when measuring mass is the ___.

8)The unit used for measuring weight is the ___.

HOMEWORK – 1. Work on Project  2. Finish sentence frames (Mass vs. Weight)

1)Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

2)Weight is different than mass because it depends on the amount of gravity.

3)The only way to change the mass of an object is to gain or lose mass.

4)To change the weight of an object you can either change the amount of gravity or gain or lose mass.

5)The tool used when measuring mass is the balance.

6)The tool used for measuring weight is the scale.

7)The unit used when measuring mass is the Gram.

8)The unit used for measuring weight is the Newton.
