Why does matter matter?
by kelly hashway
What do trees, air, and water have in common? They all have matter. That means they take up space. You might be wondering why these things look so different if they all have matter. Everything found on Earth can be grouped into one of three states of matter:solid,liqid, or gas. In order to figure out which state of matter an object fits in,we have to examine its properties. The properties we look at are shape,mass,and volume. Mass is the amount of matter an object has, and volume is the amount of space the matter takes up.
