Our next unit in science is called Measuring Matters. Measuring Matters focuses on common objects and substances and their physical properties that can be observed and measured. Students describe objects and substances and identify the properties of matter through the application of measurement and material composition.
Unit 2: Key Vocabulary
area - Area is the amount of space something covers.
balance - A balance is a tool used to measure how heavy an object is.
capacity - Capacity is the amount of substance a container can hold.
centimeter - A centimeter is one type of standard unit used to measure length.
distance - Distance is the measurement of how far from each other two points or places are.
evaporation - Evaporation is the process of changing a liquid to a gas through heating or the motion of air.
force - A force is a push or a pull on an object.
gram - A gram is a unit of measurement used for determining the mass of an object.
inch - An inch is one type of standard unit used to measure length.
length – Length is the measurement of something from one end to the other.
liquid - A liquid is a state of matter that is free flowing, can be poured, and takes the shape of its container.
mass - Mass is the measurement of the amount of matter (material) within an object or substance.
measurement – To find out how big, how heavy, or how long something is or how much it holds is called measurement.

nonstandard unit – A nonstandard unit is anything used as a unit of measure that is not the same in size.
properties - Properties are characteristics by which matter is described.
single substance - A single substance is a material made up of one thing.
solid - Solid is a state of matter that keeps its own shape and size.
