What is matter?
Chapter 8 Lesson 1
Matter Everywhere
Everything you can see, smell, or touch is matter.
Many things that you cannot see, smell, or touch are matter too.
Air is an example of matter you sometimes cannot see, smell, or touch.
Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. You can feel the mass of objects as weight when you pick them up.
When you blow up a balloon, you see that even air takes up space.
