Properties of Matter and Mass

The video tutorial introduces the concept of matter, explaining that it includes both living and non-living things, and has mass and volume. It discusses how different objects have different masses and volumes, and how these can be measured using a balance. The video also explains the difference between mass and weight, and how matter occupies space, demonstrated through water displacement. Characteristics of matter such as shape and ease of flow are described, with examples like milk, honey, and toys. The tutorial concludes with an interactive game to reinforce learning about shapes and flow of matter.
