The image presents a sorting activity where students are asked to identify whether the substance shown in each picture is a
solid,
liquid, or
gas. Each card has an image and three labeled options:
solid,
liquid, and
gas. The task is to determine which state of matter applies to each image.
Let’s go through each one:
---
1. Juice
-
Image: A glass filled with orange-colored liquid.
-
State: Liquid
-
✔ Correct answer:
liquid
> Juice is a fluid that takes the shape of its container — this is characteristic of a
liquid.
---
2. Rain
-
Image: A cloud with raindrops falling.
-
State: Liquid
-
✔ Correct answer:
liquid
> Rain consists of water droplets falling from the sky — these are
liquid water, not vapor (which would be gas) or ice (which would be solid).
---
3. Soup
-
Image: A bowl of yellow soup.
-
State: Liquid
-
✔ Correct answer:
liquid
> Soup is mostly liquid, even if it contains some solids like vegetables or meat, but the overall form is
liquid.
---
4. Coffee
-
Image: A cup of coffee with a straw.
-
State: Liquid
-
✔ Correct answer:
liquid
> Coffee is a beverage that flows and takes the shape of its container — a
liquid.
---
5. Ocean
-
Image: An underwater scene with fish and coral.
-
State: Liquid
-
✔ Correct answer:
liquid
> The ocean is made of water, which is
liquid (though it contains dissolved gases and solids, the main state is liquid).
---
6. Pool
-
Image: A swimming pool with blue water.
-
State: Liquid
-
✔ Correct answer:
liquid
> A pool contains water, which is
liquid.
---
Summary Table:
| Image | State |
|----------|---------|
| Juice | Liquid |
| Rain | Liquid |
| Soup | Liquid |
| Coffee | Liquid |
| Ocean | Liquid |
| Pool | Liquid |
---
Final Answer:
All six items are
liquids.
✔ So, for each card, the correct choice is
liquid.

Teaching Tip:
This activity helps children understand the
three states of matter by associating real-world examples with their physical states. In this case, all images show substances in the
liquid state. You could extend the activity by adding cards with
solids (e.g., ice cube, rock) and
gases (e.g., steam, air) for contrast.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of 3rd grade science matter worksheet.
