  • Understanding Matter: Why Sugar Granules Are a Sample
    Sugar granules are a sample of matter because they have mass and take up space.

    * Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It is measured in kilograms (kg), grams (g), or milligrams (mg). Sugar granules have mass because they are made up of atoms, which are tiny particles that have mass.

    * Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. It is measured in cubic meters (m³), cubic centimeters (cm³), or liters (L). Sugar granules have volume because they are made up of atoms, which take up space.

    Examples of other things that are samples of matter include:

    * Rocks

    * Water

    * Air

    * Cars

    * Houses

    * Trees

    Anything that has mass and takes up space is a sample of matter.
