[00:00:00]Look around you. The phone in your hand, the water you drink, even the air you breathe. What do they all have in common? Uh they are all matter.

[00:00:09]In simple terms, matter is anything that has mass, weight, and takes up space, volume. If you can touch it, weigh it, or it occupies a corner, it's matter.

[00:00:19]While science has discovered more, matter primarily exists in three main states. First, solid. Solids have a fixed shape and a fixed volume.

[00:00:27]Examples: your laptop, ice cubes, table, gold. Second, liquids. Liquids have a fixed volume, but no fixed shape. They take the shape of whatever container you pour them into. Examples: water, oil, juice.

[00:00:42]Third, gases. Gases have no fixed shape and no fixed volume. Examples: oxygen, air, helium. So, [snorts] the next time you see anything in the universe, just ask yourself, does it have weight? Does it take up space? If yes, you're looking at matter.
