Experiment 1:
Materials~
2 eggs
Needle
Scale
Bowl
Marker
Question?
What is the difference between weight and mass, and can two objects that have the same mass be different weights?
Hypothesis
The difference between weight and mass is that mass is the measurement of how much matter is in an object and it will remain constant regardless of gravity. Weight is how heavy an object is depending on the gravitational pull on the object.
Step 1:
Zero out the scale.
Step 2:
Weight the eggs to see that they have roughly the same weight.
Step 3:
Take one of the eggs and poke a hole in each end with a needle.
Step 4:
Blow one side of the egg and allow the bottom hole to drain the insides into a bowl.
Step 5:

Results: see graph below.
Experiment 2:
Materials~
Legos (two of each, same size same shape, separated)
Scale or Pan Balance
Question?
Will two different structure consisting of the same parts weight the same?
Hypothesis:
The two structures will weigh the same even though the density is different.
Step 1: Separate the legos, one of each piece in each pile.
Step 2:
Build a dense lego structure (no spaces in it whatsoever) out of one pile
Step 3:
Build an open structure out of the remaining pile.
Step 4:
Zero out the scale if you have not already.
Step 5:
Weight the two structures separately and record the weights. Step 6:
Compare the results.
Results: The density of the structure did not matter as the structures each weighed the same.

Experiment 3
Materials~
Butter
Microwave
Scale
Bowl
Question?
Will the butter weigh the same in solid form and in melted form? Hypothesis
The butter will weigh the same when melted as it did in solid form.
Step 1:
Zero the scale
Step 2:
Weigh the butter stick.
Step 3:
Weigh the empty bowl.
Step 4:
Melt the butter in the microwave.(be sure to do it in ten second intervals so butter does not overflow)
