Lyrics:
NARRATOR:
Every object on this Earth,
Every substance that you see
Can be described and measured
By physical properties.
Like hardness, color, or malleability -
odor, length or temperature…or these magic three:
MASS, VOLUME, DENSITY:
Mass, Volume, Density.
Three physical properties
Mass Volume Density
MASS:
Hey everybody!
My name’s Mass.
I’m the amount of matter
in a solid, or a liquid, or a gas.
My unit is the kilogram.
The more force it takes to move me,
The more massive I am.
And let’s get this straight:
WEIGHT and MASS:
Mass is not the same as weight!
MASS:
I stay constant.
WEIGHT:
As for me, I
Change… depending on gravity!
MASS, VOLUME, DENSITY:
Mass, Volume, Density.
Three physical properties,
Mass, Volume, Density.
VOLUME:
I am Volume. Call me V.
The space that something takes up—That’s me!
Tiny as a teardrop, large as the skies,
Or something in between— I’m a measure of size.
Milliliters or cubic centimeters.
Either way, I am 3D space.
A cool way to find me: Drop a thing in water,
How much water does it displace?
MASS, VOLUME, DENSITY:
Mass, Volume, Density.
Three physical properties,
Mass, Volume…
DENSITY:
and finally:
Density, I’m Density—
How tightly packed your molecules are,
Like people in a subway car –
Are they close or are they far?
Density, I’m Density.
Does something float in the air or sea?
If the object has less density,
It floats! Buoyancy!
ROCK:
“Maybe I have buoyancy!”
*splash*
MASS:
What’s our connection? Excellent question!
VOLUME:
We are related —like a family
DENSITY:
If you know two of us, you can find the other!
MASS, VOLUME, DENSITY:
D = M divided by V!
Yeah! D = M/V!
MASS, VOLUME, DENSITY:
Mass, Volume, Density.
Three physical properties,
Mass, Volume, Density!
