Mass "AHA" Moment

My "AHA" moment in science was when I discovered that mass is different from volume because mass is the measure of gravity's pull on an object  and volume is how much stuff you need to make an object- which is why you use a triple beam balance to measure mass, and you record mass in grams.

  1. I like how you not only described your aha moment which is that mass and volume are not the same, but also wrote how

  2. oops - Mass is the amount of matter on an object. Weight is the pull of gravity.
