What Is Matter?

5

Eggs are made of

matter, too.

6

Can you name some of the matter used to

make cookies?

Matter is everything that has mass and takes up space.

7

8

Matter can be a liquid, such as milk. It has mass and takes up space.

Is All Matter the Same?

Liquids are matter that

cannot hold their shape.

They need a container.

9

10

Matter can be a solid, such as the bowl. It has mass and takes up space.

11

mmmm!

Matter can be a gas, such as air. The smell of the cookies is part of the air, a mixture of gases. It has mass and takes up space.

12

How do you know that gas takes up space? Blow into a balloon three times. Your breath is made of air. Now feel the balloon. That is how much space three breaths of air take up.

13

The balloon keeps the

air from spreading out.

Gases expand to fill

the space.

14

Is your chair made of matter? Can you feel it? Does it take up space and have mass? Yes, your chair is made of matter.

A chair is a solid. Solids

hold their shape.

15

What about water for washing? Does the water take up space and have mass? Yes, the water is made of matter.

16

17

18

What isn’t made of matter? The light coming in your window is not matter. It is energy. Energy does not have mass or take up space.

What Isn’t Matter?

19

Now it is time to eat the cookie. You pick it up and feel it has mass. Is the cookie made of matter?

Is Your Cookie Matter?

20

21

1. Can you think of a liquid other than milk or water? Is that liquid made of matter?

2. How can you use a balloon to show gas taking up space?

3. What is not made of matter?

22
