    Matter

    Anything made of atoms, takes up space, and has mass.

    Mass

    The amount of matter in an object, different from weight.

    Volume

    The amount of space an object occupies, found using formulas or water displacement.

    Density

    Mass per unit volume, indicates how packed matter is.
