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

number

The most frequently repeated number/value in a series of numbers

6is the Mode

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.
