What is matter – anything that has mass and takes up space. Everything all around us is made of matter. But how do we categorize different types of matter? Based on its properties – some properties are variable, like mass and shape, where they can change even though the substance remains the same. Other properties, like fluorescence, density, and magnetism, are constant properties – they are based on the substance itself. Join Discovery Guide Cynthia in the Children’s Museum of Houston’s Matter Factory exhibit as she explores several different properties of matter.
