Matter Around Us in Telangana Class 9 introduces the concept of matter as anything that has mass and occupies space. It explains the states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—based on particle arrangement, intermolecular forces, and kinetic energy.

The chapter also covers physical properties, changes of state (melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation), and factors affecting evaporation, helping students relate scientific ideas to daily life examples.
