Research, Investigate, and CommunicateInquiry ActivityFinding the Mass of Matter

You will learn how to compare the masses of two objects. Remember, mass is the amount of matter in an object.

Make a Prediction Read the steps of the investigation. Think about the objects you have chosen. Which object do you think will have more mass?


1 Look around the classroom for two objects that you can measure with a balance.

2 Choose two objects that you think will have different masses.

3 Measure each object‘s mass with the gram cubes.

4 Record Data Use a separate piece of paper.

Performance TaskWhat’s in the Bag?

You can use touch to describe matter. Without looking into a paper bag, you will describe the matter inside.

Make a Prediction How will you describe matter without seeing it?


1 Use the bag provided by your teacher.

2 Reach your hand inside the bag and feel the object. How would you describe what it feels like?

3 Record Data Write the bag number and the description in the table.

4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 with other bags.
