* Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
* Everything you can see and touch has mass (weight) and takes up space.
Here are some examples of household objects that are matter:
* Furniture: Tables, chairs, couches, beds
* Appliances: Refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, washing machine, dryer
* Electronics: Television, computer, phone, tablet
* Kitchenware: Plates, cups, silverware, pots, pans
* Cleaning supplies: Detergent, soap, bleach, sponges
* Books, magazines, and newspapers
* Clothing
* Toys
* Plants
* Food
* Water
* Air (even though you can't see it, it has mass and takes up space)
The only things in your house that are *not* matter would be things like light, sound, and heat. These are forms of energy, not matter.
