Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space, while non-matter does not have mass or occupy space. Matter is composed of tiny particles and can exist in different states depending on how the particles are arranged. When a copper sulfate crystal is dropped in water, the clear water turns blue as the particles of the blue crystal separate and mix in between the spaces of the water particles. Over time, a balloon will deflate because air is made up of fine particles that can diffuse through the tiny pores in the balloon's wall.

2. • Everything (living or non-living things) which
has mass and occupies space.

3. • Non-matter do not have mass and do not
occupy space.

4. • Matter is made up of many fine and tiny
discrete particles.
• We may determine the state of matter by
their arrangement of particles.

5. Blue in
colour
• A copper sulphate crystal is
dropped to the clear water.
• The clear water soon becomes
blue in colour.
• The particles of blue crystal
separate and mix in between
the spaces of water particles.

6. After three days……
Before
After
Few days later the balloon becomes smaller.
Because air is made up of many fine
Why? particles thus allowed it to diffuse
through the tiny pores of the balloon’s
wall.
