Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these Earlier using the Gizmo.)

1. Your weight is the pull of gravity on your body. Suppose you step on a bath scale on

the Moon. How would your weight on the Moon compare to your weight on Earth?

A. greater on the Moon B. less on the Moon C. same on Earth and the Moon

Moon compare to your mass on Earth?

Gizmo Westarm-up

On the Weight and Mass Gizmo™, you tin use a

remainder to compare the masses of objects.

i. Place the dog on the right pan of the balance. What

happens? The scale goes down.

2. Place the 5-kilogram (kg) mass on the other pan.

Which has more mass, the domestic dog or the 5-kg mass?

The 5kg mass.

iii. The 5-kg mass is heavier than the domestic dog, so accept it off the pan and place a ane-kg mass on the

pan. Add 1-kg masses to the left pan until it goes down. So take i of the 1-kg masses

off the pan and so that the masses are above the dog.

iv. Use this process of adding and subtracting other masses from the left pan until the 2 pans

are balanced. Add together upwardly all the masses on the left pan. This is equal to the mass of the canis familiaris.

What is the mass of the dog? two.37kg
