- 1
Everything is made of matter, which is anything that has weight and takes up space.
- 2
Matter comes in three states: solid, liquid, or gas, depending on how the particles are arranged and move.
- 3
Matter can change states when its particles speed up or slow down, like when a solid candle melts into liquid wax or liquid water turns into gas (steam).
