Matter Is Everywhere!" is a fun song about the nature of matter. In addition to defining and describing matter, this song describes and gives examples of terms like mass, gravity, and weight. It also describes that a balance is used to compare the mass of two objects, and explains the three phases of matter (solid, liquid and gas). 
Kids love to make the "fizzz" sound in the last line!

   MATTER is anything that takes up space, now
Matter can be big or small, it's all over the place, now
Matter can be something you feel or something you see
Or it can be invisible, like the air that you breathe 

Chorus:
Matter, Matter is Everywhere!
Matter, Matter is Everywhere!

When we want to say how much matter is 
In some thing, now
We've got a word that we can use, 
A word that we can sing, now

MASS is the word we use to say how much matter
Mass is the word to describe how much matter 

Chorus

GRAVITY pulls on us all, pulls us down to the ground, now
And WEIGHT is the word to describe 
How much it's pulling down, now
A BALANCE is an instrument to compare two things, now
And it compares the mass of those two things, now 

Chorus

Matter comes three different ways, 
Comes in THREE DIFFERENT PHASES
SOLIDS, LIQUIDS, and GAS are found in all kinds of places
Solid things are hard and liquid things flow and flow
And gas escapes a soda can when you let it go (fssss) 

Chorus
