MATTER IN OUR SURROUNDINGS (copy)

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The term mass refers to the amount of matter present in a sample. Matter includes all things both living and nonliving that can be seen (such as plants, water, soil, rocks, table and even this book), as well as things that cannot be seen by our naked eye (such as air and bacteria). Unlike matter, energy is known and recognized by its effect. It cannot be seen, touched, smelt or weighed. Therefore, various forms of energy such as heat, light, and sound are not considered to be matter.
