Problem Overview:
The worksheet titled "A-MAZING MATTER" is designed to help students understand the three states of matter:
solid,
liquid, and
gas. The task involves:
1.
Coloring squares:
- Color the squares about liquids
red.
- Color the squares about gases
green.
- Color the squares about solids
yellow.
2.
Drawing a path:
- Draw a line on the yellow path for "Robo Rat" to get to the cheese.
Solution Explanation:
#### Step 1: Understanding the States of Matter
-
Solid: A solid has a definite size and shape. Examples include ice, a book, a pencil, etc.
-
Liquid: A liquid has a definite size but takes the shape of its container. Examples include water, milk, etc.
-
Gas: A gas has no definite size or shape and expands to fill any container. Examples include steam, air, etc.
#### Step 2: Identifying and Coloring Each State
We will analyze each row in the table and determine which state of matter it represents. Then, we will color the corresponding squares accordingly.

Table Analysis and Coloring:
#### Row 1:
-
LIQUID: Water takes this form between 0°C and 100°C (e.g., liquid water).
-
Color: Red
-
SOLID: Has a definite size but no definite shape (e.g., ice).
-
Color: Yellow
-
GAS: Water takes this form above 100°C (e.g., steam).
-
Color: Green
#### Row 2:
-
LIQUID: Takes the shape of the container but not the size (e.g., water in a glass).
-
Color: Red
-
SOLID: Things take this form when they freeze (e.g., ice cube).
-
Color: Yellow
-
GAS: Solids take this state when they melt (e.g., ice melting into water).
-
Color: Green
#### Row 3:
-
LIQUID: Can be poured (e.g., pouring water from a bottle).
-
Color: Red
-
SOLID: Takes the shape and size of any container (e.g., ice in a mold).
-
Color: Yellow
-
GAS: Liquids take this state when they evaporate (e.g., water turning into vapor).
-
Color: Green
#### Row 4:
-
LIQUID: Things take this form when they freeze (e.g., water freezing into ice).
-
Color: Red
-
SOLID: Has a definite size and shape (e.g., a block of ice).
-
Color: Yellow
-
GAS: Water changes to this state above 100°C (e.g., boiling water turning into steam).
-
Color: Green

Step 3: Drawing the Path
After coloring the squares, the next step is to draw a path for "Robo Rat" to reach the cheese. The path should follow the
yellow squares (solids) since the instructions specify drawing a line on the yellow path.
#### Observations:
- The yellow squares (solids) form a connected path from the starting point (top-left corner) to the cheese (bottom-right corner).
#### Instructions for Drawing:
1. Start at the top-left corner where Robo Rat is located.
2. Follow the yellow squares in a continuous path.
3. Ensure the path leads directly to the cheese without deviating into red or green squares.

Final Answer:
1.
Coloring:
-
Red: Squares representing liquids.
-
Yellow: Squares representing solids.
-
Green: Squares representing gases.
2.
Path Drawing:
- Draw a continuous line through the yellow squares to guide Robo Rat to the cheese.
