5. What is matter? Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space
Mass: the amount of matter something is made of (on earth, it is equal to an objects weight)
Volume: the amount of space an object takes up
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

6. How do we know that air has mass?
Your goal today will be to design an experiment that shows that air has mass.
You may use anything on the cart at the front, as well as any of the materials from the glassware cabinet, the sinks, etc.
If you need something else—ask! I might have it.
Keep trying until you get it!

7. Wrap up… Crash Course: Matter (~4 min)
Using either your experiment (if it worked) or the experiment they showed in the video (if your experiment didn’t work), write an argument in CER format to defend the claim “air has mass”.
The back has sentence starters if you are stuck!
