Let's solve this "States of Matter" matching activity step by step.
We are given several objects, and we need to match each object to its correct
state of matter: solid, liquid, or gas. Here’s a breakdown of each item:
---
1. Air (inside the balloon)
- Air is a mixture of gases.
- It fills the space inside the balloon and can expand.
-
✔ State of matter: Gas
---
2. Paint (inside the can)
- Paint is a thick fluid that flows slowly.
- It has no fixed shape but takes the shape of its container.
-
✔ State of matter: Liquid
---
3. Log
- A log is made of wood, which is a solid material.
- It has a definite shape and volume.
-
✔ State of matter: Solid
---
4. Vapor
- Vapor refers to water in gaseous form (like steam).
- It rises from boiling water and spreads out.
-
✔ State of matter: Gas
---
5. Milk (inside the carton)
- Milk is a liquid that flows and takes the shape of its container.
-
✔ State of matter: Liquid
---
6. Icicle
- An icicle is frozen water, so it's solid ice.
- It has a definite shape and volume.
-
✔ State of matter: Solid
---
7. Glass with water
- This image shows a glass filled with water.
- Water is a liquid.
-
✔ State of matter: Liquid
---
Now let's match them correctly:
| Object | State of Matter |
|--------|-----------------|
| Air (inside the balloon) | Gas |
| Paint (inside the can) | Liquid |
| Log | Solid |
| Vapor | Gas |
| Milk (inside the carton) | Liquid |
| Icicle | Solid |
| Glass with water | Liquid |
---
Final Matching:
-
Air (inside the balloon) →
Gas
-
Paint (inside the can) →
Liquid
-
Log →
Solid
-
Vapor →
Gas
-
Milk (inside the carton) →
Liquid
-
Icicle →
Solid
-
Glass with water →
Liquid
> Note: The worksheet asks to draw lines, but since we're solving it here, you would draw lines from each object to the correct state of matter label (if provided). Since labels aren't listed separately on the page, assume the states are labeled as
Solid,
Liquid, and
Gas somewhere nearby (likely at the top or side), and connect accordingly.

✔ Summary of matches:
-
Gas: Air, Vapor
-
Liquid: Paint, Milk, Water (in glass)
-
Solid: Log, Icicle
You would draw:
- Line from
Air →
Gas
- Line from
Paint →
Liquid
- Line from
Log →
Solid
- Line from
Vapor →
Gas
- Line from
Milk →
Liquid
- Line from
Icicle →
Solid
- Line from
Water in glass →
Liquid
This completes the task!
