Lesson 1 – What is MATTER?
Matter is all around us. Matter is everything you see – and everything you do not see. Matter comes in many forms. The four most common forms of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Matter can change state. For example, water can be liquid (drinking water), gas (vapor) and solid (ice).
Plasma is much rarer than gas, solid or liquid. If you wear special glasses and look up during a solar eclipse you can see the sun’s corona – it is made of plasma.
