Key Points about Weight:
- Definition: Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.
- Units: Weight is typically measured in newtons (N) or pounds (lbs).
- Relationship with Mass: Weight and mass are related, but they are not the same thing. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted on that mass due to gravity.
- Gravity: The weight of an object can change depending on the strength of the gravitational force acting on it. For example, an object will weigh less on the moon than it does on Earth because the moon's gravitational pull is weaker.
Study Guide for Weight:
To understand weight better, it's important to remember the following concepts:Mass vs. Weight:
Understand the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object.
Units of Measurement:
Be familiar with the units used to measure weight, such as newtons (N) and pounds (lbs). Understand how to convert between these units.
Gravity:
Learn about the role of gravity in determining an object's weight. Understand how the strength of gravity can vary on different planets and celestial bodies.
Weighing Objects:
Practice weighing different objects using a scale. Understand how the readings on the scale are related to the gravitational force acting on the objects.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Investigate the resulting motion of objects when forces of different strengths and directions act upon them (e.g., object being pushed, object being pulled, two objects colliding).
Use observations and data from investigations to determine if a design solution (e.g., designing a ramp to increase the speed of an object in order to move a stationary object) solves the problem of using force to change the speed or direction of an object.
LIFE SCIENCE
Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
Distinguish between living and nonliving things and verify what living things need to survive (e.g., animals needing food, water, and air; plants needing nutrients, water, sunlight, and air).
