What you learn in Theory:
Matter is also a general term for the substance that makes up all observable physical objects.
What you learn in Practice:
A definition of "matter" more fine-scale than the atoms and molecules definition is: matter is made up of what atoms and molecules are made of, meaning anything made of positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons.
