Title Card

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.
