What is Made of Matter?

Matter is the stuff that everything is made of, and that stuff takes up space (volume) and has mass (weight). So, to see whether or not something is matter is to see whether it takes up space (volume) AND has mass (weight).

In order to figure out if water, air, and light are made of matter we need to see if they take up space. We’ll do this by trying to put water, air, and light into a balloon.
