What is matter?

Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass in volume. Matter is what makes the world and everything in it. If their was no matter we wouldn't be here. Anything that is solid, liquid, gas, plasma, or Be condensates is matter, this is because if the objects fall into these categories they are in states of matter so that makes it matter.

Two things can happen to matter! What are those two?

The two things that can happen to matter is a physical change and a chemical change. A physical change is when you take a piece of paper and you rip cut or fold it. do you still have paper? Yes! Like if you take a pencil or a stick and break it on you knee it is still wood right ? Yes! So basically a physical change is when something happens to something that is matter but is t changes how it looks but it is still a what it was when it had no changes.

A chemical changes in matter is when something happens to matter so that it forms new matter or something new. An example of chemical changes in matter if burning. Lets say you have wood or a piece of paper and you set it on fire once the fire burns out then you have ashes. Is that the same as before it caught on fire? No! Another example of chemical changes in matter is when you bake a cake are the ingredients the same now that you have cooked them?No!

I confirmed that backing powder was the mysterious substance by seeing how it reacts to substance and do substances we know and seeing if they act the same way and if they do then they are the mysterious substance. This is connected to matter because it is showing how different atoms act when meting others and the reactions that happen.
