Lab Stations

• Rotate through 3 labs stations• Make observations about mass and volume of the different objects. • Write your observations in your INQUIRY CHART.• Answer the LAB QUESTIONS.

Beach Ball Station

1) Which object takes up more space?

2) Which object weighs more?

3) Which object do you think has the most mass?

4) The beach ball is filled with air and the other ball is filled with solid metal. What could this tell you about the mass of air?

4) How is it possible for two objects to have equal volume,

but one have more mass than the other?

Graduated Cylinder Station

1) Use what you learned last year to measure the volume in the two graduated cylinders.
