What is matter?
 MATTER IS THE STUFF AROUND YOU
Not very clear, but it's true. Anything that takes up space or has a mass of any kind is matter. Everything you can touch is made of matter
Mass:
         the amount of matter in an object
         measured with a balance
Volume:
         the amount of space an object takes up
         measured with a ruler or graduated cylinder
          
What is not matter? Energy
Copy into ISN on page 4:
Matter:
       Proton
      Atoms (e.g., a helium atom)
      Molecules (e.g., water, sugar)
      Compounds (e.g., table salt, silicon dioxide)
      Cat
      Tree
      House
      Computer
