The document is an educational material focused on the characteristics of matter, specifically the three states: solid, liquid, and gas. It outlines tasks and activities for learners to understand the properties of each state through practical demonstrations and assessments. The content is designed for students to engage with the concepts of mass and volume as well as conduct experiments to visualize the properties of matter.

Things We Call Matter
Everything around you is matter. Matter is
made of atoms. Atoms are very tiny particles that you
cannot see. You need special instruments to see them.
When atoms join other atoms, they make molecules.
Molecules are still very small for your eyes to see. But
when lots and lots of molecules join together, they form
the things around you, that is matter.
The science that studies matter is called
chemistry.
Matter has mass. Mass is how much material
something has. Here on earth, mass and weight are the
same.
Matter has volume. Volume is how much
space a thing takes up. All matter has volume.
Everything occupies space.
The three states of matter are solid, liquid
and gas.
