States of Matter

Type this paragraph:

Matter
by Your Name

        There are three states of matter, and each is usually measured in a different way.  A solid has a particular shape and is measured by finding the mass of the object.  A liquid has no particular shape, so it is poured into a measuring container to determine volume.  A gas has no definite shape, so it is measured by cubic units of the amount of space it takes up in a closed container.
