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.
