What is matter?
Matter is any substance that has mass and occupies space. There are 3 states of matter that are found in nature on Earth: 1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Gas (plasma is the 4th state of matter, but it is not really found in nature on Earth, so we don't really discuss it. The universe is made up primarily of plasma. 99.99% of the universe is made up of plasma, which means that Earth is less than .01% of the universe. WOW! |
Volume refers to the amount of space the object takes up. In other words, volume is a measure of the size of an object, just like height and width are ways to describe size. If the object is hollow (in other words, empty), volume is the amount of water it can hold. Volume is usually measured in liters (L) or milliliters (mL).
Mass is the measurement of how much matter is in an object. Mass is usually measured in grams or kilograms.
Density refers to the amount of matter within a given space.

These are graduated cylinders and they are used for measuring the volume of a liquid. Graduated cylinders typically measure in mL (milliliters), but the volume of a liquid can also be measured in Liters.
Beakers are used for holding and pouring liquids. The lines on a beaker are not as precise as a graduated cylinder, so when measuring the volume of a liquid, make sure to use the correct tool (a graduated cylinder).
Below are two pictures of Triple Beam Balances which is a tool that is used to measure the mass of an object. The mass of lighter objects are measured in the base unit grams, while heavier objects are measured in kilograms (1,000 grams). For example, a dime may be measured in grams while a roll of dimes may be measured in kilograms.
