I think matter matters because everything except light and sound has matter. For an example trees have matter and if we didn't have matter we wouldn't have trees or oxygen. If we didn't have oxygen we wouldn't be able to breathe or live.

Matter matters because matter is everything with mass. Everything is matter except light and sound. If there was no matter there would be nothing in the whole universe.

Josh G 3:43PM 02/21/13

matter matters because if we didnt have matter we wouldnt be alive. Matter is something that has mass and takes up space. Therfore we would have nothing because everything has matter besides sound and light.

Claire R 2:57PM 02/21/13

Matter matters because without matter, no you. Matter is everywhere except in sound and light. So matter is very important, your made of matter!

Hans. T 2:57PM 02/21/13

Matter matters because everything on earth is made up of atom except for light and sound. Without matter we won't be able to breathe eat or do anything. We wouldn't be here if there was no matter in this world.

If their was no matter in the world, we wouldn't be here. Everything contains matter besides light and sound. The trees would not give us oxygen. We are made out of matter, no matter, no us.

Matter, Matters because if we didn't have matter we wouldn't have anything. matter is what takes up space and has mass. So why does matter, matter because if we didn't have matter we wouldn't have anything but light and sound.

Victor S. 2:47PM 02/21/13

Matter matters because pretty much everything except for light an sound is made of matter. Without matter, where would we sleep, what would we eat, and where would we live? What would become of us and the whole universe? Yeah, I don't want to think about that.....

Rachel T. 2:47PM 02/21/13

Matter matters because if we didn't have matter we would have nothing. matter is everything that has mass and takes up space and that's the problem because almost everything is made up of matter so we would probably would not be alive. the only thing that is not made of matter is light and sound and that would be worth less without matter because no would hear is or be able to see because everything would be gone.

Matter matter because, It is everywhere, except light and sound.Also Matter is made of atoms, and we are made of atoms without them we could not stand on our two feet. Matter is anything that takes up space and have mass. Including, everything that is a solid, wouldn't hold up either.

Brittany 2:45PM 02/21/13

Matter matters because if we don't have any matter we have nothing on Earth and we don't even have ourselves to live because we are matter! Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. If we didn't have matter nothing would be living right now because air (which is matter) would be gone and water (also matter) would be gone to! That is why I think that matter matters.

Kamil G. 2:45PM 02/21/13

Matter matters because matter is in everything but light and sound. If we didn't have matter we wouldn't have atoms and atoms are in matter which means we wouldn't have anything. The only thing we would have is light and sound.

Jackie G. 2:44PM 02/21/13

I think Matter Matters because in matter there is mass. and in mass there are molecules, and in molecues there is atoms. So if you took away matter it would take away matter it would take away mass molecules and atoms and then there would be nothing!! (besides light and sound that is.)

Michael.s 8th 2:44PM 02/21/13

Matter, matters because everything is made up of matter besides light and sound. Matter is what almost everything has because almost everything takes up space and has mass which makes it have matter and it is important because we are also made up of matter and if there wasn't matter there would be no us.

Pedro S. period 8th 2:43PM 02/21/13

Matter matters because Matter is in every thing except Light and sound. If there was no matter there would be no world and that would be bad. IF there was no matter there would be nothing but light and sound and eventually they to would be gone with nothing to make them.

Peggy F. 2:40PM 02/21/13

Matter, matters because if we didn,t have matter we would have nothing. Matter is anything that has mass and anything with mass takes up space. Therefore if we didnthave matter we would have nothing but light and sound

dylan s 2:19PM 02/21/13

Matter matters because it takes up space. without matter we would not have the things we do. everything has matter except light and sound. without mater we would not have air to breath and we would not have food to eat. in other words there would be no life on earth without matter.

Grace w 7th 2:00PM 02/21/13

I think matter matters because almost everything is made of it, even us. The only things that aren't made of it are light and sound. Without matter almost nothing would exist including us! That is why I think matter matters

Logan K. 12:01PM 02/21/13

Matter matters because almost every thing on the PLANET has matter. NOt everything has matter like light,sound and an idea. Those things do not have matter because the do not have mass, and if they don't have mass then the don't have volume. If they don't have volume that means the do not take up space. Many people think air does not have matter but it does because it have atoms and volume.

Alexis L 12:00PM 02/21/13

Matter matters because if we didn't have matter we would not be able to live for one because we wouldn't be able to be born we would just be nothing! it also matters because we would not be able to sit down or relax because we dont have chairs!!!The last thing I should say about matter is that we wouldn't have phones or video games!!

Matter matters because it takes up space, and that's one reason it is important because you can know how much space an object takes up. Also matter matters because there are certain tools you use to find out how much space it takes up. For example if it is an irregular shape you would use a graduated cylinder.

Garrett K. 11:56AM 02/21/13

Matter matters because it is anything that has mass and takes up space. For example you are matter. So if we didn't have matter then we wouldn't be able to stand up and have bones and muscles. We would all be skinny,boneless and floppy. Also if we didn't have matter then we wouldn't have air because air takes up space which is matter and we need air to breathe. So matter is very important and that's why matter matter's.

Makayla H. 11:56AM 02/21/13

Matter matters because it makes up everything in the universe except light and sound. Everything has matter except light and sound because in order to be matter you have to take up space and have mass. All matter is made of the smallest unit of matter which is atoms so in order to be matter you have to have at least one type of atom. Matter makes up everything known to man except light and sound and that is why matter matters.

Corbin K. 11:52AM 02/21/13

Matter Matters because matter is technically in everything but light and sound. So if we did not have matter we would have NOTHING. Trees,grass and other greens are all made up of matter and if matter did not exist we would not have them for us to be able to breath oxygen. Plus we are made of matter which makes it very important. If it wasn't for matter we would not be where we are today.

Why Does Matter Matter? Well matter matters, because what would there be without it. Without matter I wouldn't be here to type this and there wouldn't be a computer to type on. So, really think about the world without matter that means no atoms and the world is made up of atoms so there wouldn't an Earth! :)

Cassidy M. p3 11:20AM 02/21/13

MATTER matter's because without matter we wouldn't be on earth. Without matter we wouldn't have food to survive. Without matter we wouldn't have water to drink and survive. Without matter nothing would be real other than sound and light.

Katie K 11:16AM 02/21/13

Matter matters because without it the world would be an empty nothingness. Since EVERY PHYSICAL thing requires matter (including ourselves) without it there would be no life, or anything else for that matter. Well, except for light and sound, those are the only things that aren't made up of matter. Matter is what makes up everything that we have ever known, without it we wouldn't exist.

Isabella K. 11:15AM 02/21/13

matter matters because everything has matter .there are 3 different types of matter solid liquid and gas . matter is important because we are made of matter without matter we would not exist.

Mia.M p 3 11:15AM 02/21/13

Matter matters because if there wasn't matter in the world, there'd be nothing! In fact, matter is important to us. We can converse about it with other scientists around the world to compare our results and find out that in different places, matter can change.
