2. What is matter, anyway?
Matter is essentially what makes up the universe.
It’s classified as anything that has mass and takes up space.
It can be in solid, liquid or gas form.
When one form changes to another (ex. Ice melting or fermenting grapes for wine) these are called Chemical Changes
Physical Changes don’t alter the nature or “makeup” of the substance

3. What about Energy?
Although opposite of matter (is massless and takes up no amount of space) energy is what causes matter to move and grow.
Kinetic energy is energy in motion
Potential energy is inactive and stored ( it has the potential to move)

4. 4 different types of energy
Chemical- is stored in the bonds of chemical substances
Electrical- results from the movement of charged particles
Mechanical- directly involved with moving matter
Radiant- travels in waves, (energy of the electromagnetic spectrum)
