==The Main Idea==
==The Main Idea==
Mass is one of the intrinsic properties of physical bodies that exist in 3-dimensional space.  Mass is the underlying fundamental concept that governs gravity, inertia, and rest energy.  The SI units for mass is kilograms (kg).
===A Mathematical Model===
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic.  For example <math>{\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net}</math> where '''p''' is the momentum of the system and '''F''' is the net force from the surroundings.
===A Computational Model===
How do we visualize or predict using this topic. Consider embedding some vpython code here [https://trinket.io/glowscript/31d0f9ad9e Teach hands-on with GlowScript]
