This is for a school project and I am in Year 7... I would like to know any facts about my questions as I would be very interested to find out :)

Not sure what exactly you are asking. The universe is made up of different elements from the periodic table. The most basic element is hydrogen. Its atom is the simplest and is comprised of 1 electron and 1 proton. It is said that ''Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the elemental (baryonic) mass of the universe.''

There are smaller particles covered by quantum mechanics but that's a long read. Maybe you're asking what it's made of where there is no visible matter. There is some discussion about it here: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/89395-what-is-space-made-of/#entry869949

 

The other question isn't clear either. I guess our DNA makes us human. Could you expand a bit?

taking a wild guess and am thinking that "what make us human" refers to why do we act the way we do, why dont other animals act like us. the answer is psychological, our frontal lobes our different from other animals. so really, our brains is what make us different
