Bell Ringer: What is matter?

• • Matter is the "stuff" that makes up our world. Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter

    • Includes solids, such as wood or rocks

    • Includes liquids, such as water or hot lava

    • Includes gases, such as air or water vapor

  • Chemistry is the study of matter and its changes

  • We call the amount of matter in an object is mass
