What is matter?

All objects are made of matter .

Matter is anything that takes up

space and has mass .

Mass is the amount of

material in an object.

A tiger, flowers, and

everything you see around

you is made of matter.

You are made

of matter, too!

What are properties?

Matter has properties . Properties

describe how something looks, feels,

tastes, smells, or sounds.

We can taste this

lemon to learn if it is

sweet or sour. Sweet

and sour are properties

that describe how

something tastes.

We can look at this Ferris wheel

to learn about its shape. Shape is

a property, too.

Float or sink?

Properties also describe how

something acts. An object can float

or sink depending on what material

it is made of. For example, some

things float,

or stay on

top of a

liquid such

as water.
