Measuring Matter While we can use our senses to identify many physical properties of matter, some properties are measurable. soft white grams 10.00 soft white grams 10.00 Physical properties that can be measured include mass, volume, density, temperature, and attraction to magnets. Each is measured with a different tool. Scientists use the metric system when measuring matter. grams 50.00 90 100 110 120 130 140 80 70 60 10 20 30 40 50 150 grams 50.00 90 100 110 120 130 140 80 70 60 10 20 30 40 50 150 grams 50.00 90 100 110 120 130 140 80 70 60 10 20 30 40 50 150 gr ams 50.00 90 100 110 120 130 140 80 70 60 10 20 30 40 50 150 grams 50.00 90 100 110 120 130 140 80 70 60 10 20 30 40 50 150 length magnetic mass volume temperature Matter can be long or short.
