Matter can be a solid, such as
the bowl. It has mass and takes
up space.
10
Matter can be a gas, such as
air. The smell of the cookies is part
of the air, a mixture of gases. It
has mass and takes up space.
mmmm!
11
How do you know that gas takes
up space? Blow into a balloon
three times. Your breath is made
of air. Now feel the balloon. That is
how much space three breaths of
air take up.
