Let me work through this States of Matter worksheet step by step.
Part 1: True or False
1. Solids can change their shape. - FALSE. Solids have a fixed shape and don't change it on their own.
2. Liquids take the shape of the container. - TRUE. Liquids flow and take the shape of whatever holds them.
3. Liquids keep their shape. - FALSE. Liquids don't keep their own shape; they take the shape of their container.
4. Gases do not have a fixed shape. - TRUE. Gases spread out and fill whatever space is available.
5. Gases are often invisible. - TRUE. Most gases (like air) cannot be seen.
Part 2: Solid, Liquid, or Gas
Looking at the items:
- Steaming cup → Gas (steam/vapor)
- Oil being poured → Liquid
- Butter block → Solid
- Egg (yolk/white) → Liquid (raw egg contents are liquid)
- Nata cream box → Liquid/Semi-solid (but typically considered liquid for this level)
- Tomato sauce bottle → Liquid
- Wind/cloud cartoon → Gas (air/wind)
- Honey with butter → Liquid (honey) and Solid (butter)
- Ice cubes → Solid
- Zucchini/cucumber slices → Solid
Wait, let me reconsider. The task says to classify each item. Let me list them clearly:
1. Steaming coffee cup → Gas (the steam)
2. Oil pouring → Liquid
3. Butter blocks → Solid
4. Raw egg → Liquid
5. Nata cream → Liquid
6. Tomato sauce → Liquid
7. Wind/air cartoon → Gas
8. Honey bowl → Liquid
9. Ice cubes → Solid
10. Zucchini slices → Solid
Part 3: Changes of Matter Diagram
The diagram shows:
- Solid → Liquid (with heat): This is
melting
- Liquid → Gas (with heat): This is
evaporation
- Gas → Liquid (cooling): This is
condensation
- Liquid → Solid (cooling): This is
freezing
So the boxes from top-left going clockwise:
- Top left (Solid→Liquid with heat): melting
- Top right (Liquid→Gas with heat): evaporation
- Bottom right (Gas→Liquid cooling): condensation
- Bottom left (Liquid→Solid cooling): freezing
Part 4: Complete the sentences
1. When you heat butter it
melts.
2. When you heat water it
evaporates.
3. When you cool gas it
condenses.
Let me verify all answers before finalizing.
True/False check:
1. Solids can change their shape - FALSE ✓
2. Liquids take the shape of the container - TRUE ✓
3. Liquids keep their shape - FALSE ✓
4. Gases do not have a fixed shape - TRUE ✓
5. Gases are often invisible - TRUE ✓
Changes of matter:
- Heat applied to solid→liquid = melting ✓
- Heat applied to liquid→gas = evaporation ✓
- Cooling gas→liquid = condensation ✓
- Cooling liquid→solid = freezing ✓
Sentence completion:
1. Butter + heat = melts ✓
2. Water + heat = evaporates ✓
3. Gas + cool = condenses ✓
All answers look
