The traits that can be easily observed by using the five senses Color – Red, blue , etc. Texture – Smooth or rough Shape – Round, jagged,
square etc. Conductivity - Allows heat or
electricity to pass Size – Large, small Luster - Shiny or dull Hardness – Soft - hard
The amount of matter in an object or substance▪Measured with a
triple-beam-balance▪Measured in grams
(g) or Kilograms (Kg)
The amount of space something takes up Liquids are measured in
milliliters (mL) Solids are measured in cubic
centimeters (cm3)▪ For a regular solid such as a cube , measure
the length (l) the Height (h) and the width (w). Then multiply l x h x w to get the volume
▪ For an irregular solid use the water displacement method using a graduated cylinder

The average in a series of numbers when they are first added and then divided by the number of addends
6+8+5+4+2+10 +7= 42
42/7 = 6Mean = 6
The middle number in a series of numbers when they are put in order from lowest to highest
6, 8, 5, 4, 2, 10 , 7 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 6 is the median

The difference between the highest and the lowest numbers in a series of numbers It can be written as
Lowest – Highest or as the numerical difference between the lowest and highest numbers.
