what is matter?
our entire world is made of matter. matter is anything that takes up space. look around you. what is taking up space? __________ breathe or wave your hands. what do you feel? __________. those things are examples of matter.
matter is also something that has mass. mass describes how heavy or light an object is. the heaviness or lightness of an object depends on the amount of matter inside the object. a heavy object has more matter. a light object has less matter.
look at the objects below and complete the activity.
a large sailing ship
more mass less mass
a small pencil
more mass less mass
so, matter is anything that takes up space and has mass.
states of matter
solids
what types of matter make up our world? we will first begin with solids. solids have a definite size and shape. this means that a solid’s size and shape will not change unless something, such as heat, changes them.
color each solid below.
solids can hold their shape because the particles, or molecules, that make them up are closely packed together.
color the particles of solids.

Explanation:

The problem is about the states of matter (solids, liquids, gases) and their properties, which falls under the subfield of Physics (a subfield of Natural Science) as it deals with the physical properties of matter.

Answer:

The subfield is Physics (under Natural Science).
