Matter (blog 2)

What is matter? Well, matter is what the whole universe is made of. Matter is anything that has a mass and a volume. For example, some types of matter are wood, water, plants, animals, and pieces of the moon. Others, that we don't usually see could be oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ammonia. In order to know whether different types of matter are similar in some ways, you also have to know the properties, also known as the characteristics, of matter. Those properties are color, odor, size, shape, texture, and hardness. Equally important, all matter has the general properties of mass, weight, volume, and density. Well, now you know what matter is. It's everything you touch and see everyday. It is what you are made of and what the whole world is made of. While learning about matter in science class, I found it very fascinating that we touch matter every day. Matter has been a very interesting topic to learn about.
