Changing States of Water Worksheet for Year 5 Science

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are looking at the changing states of water — how water turns from one form to another (solid, liquid, gas). The diagram shows a cycle with arrows going around, and we need to fill in the missing words using the Word Bank.

The Word Bank has these words:
- Melting
- Liquid
- Condensation
- Solid
- Freezing
- Evaporation

Also, note that “Gas” is already written under the teapot (which is steaming), so that’s our starting point for one part.

Let’s follow the cycle clockwise, starting from the teapot (gas):

1. From Gas → next arrow points to an empty box above. What happens when gas cools down? It turns into liquid. That process is called Condensation. So the top-left blank should be Condensation, and the state it becomes is Liquid (the puddle in the middle).

Wait — let’s look again. Actually, the diagram has 6 blanks total:

Top row: two blanks (above the arrows)
Middle row: three blanks (under each image: teapot, puddle, ice cube)
Bottom row: two blanks (below the arrows)

But actually, looking carefully:

- Under the teapot: “Gas” is already filled.
- Under the puddle: blank → that’s Liquid
- Under the ice cube: blank → that’s Solid

Then the arrows show processes between them.

So let’s map it properly:

Starting from Gas (teapot) → arrow goes up to first blank (top left). That process is turning gas into liquid → that’s Condensation. Then the next state is Liquid (puddle).

From Liquid → arrow goes right to top right blank. That process is turning liquid into gas → that’s Evaporation? Wait no — if we’re going from liquid to gas, yes, evaporation. But wait — the arrow from liquid goes to the right, then down to solid? No, let’s trace the full circle.

Actually, the cycle is:

Gas → (arrow up-left) → [blank] → (arrow right) → [blank] → (arrow down-right) → Solid → (arrow down-left) → [blank] → (arrow left) → [blank] → back to Gas?

Wait — better to think of standard water cycle:

Water can go:

- Solid (ice) → melts → Liquid
- Liquid → evaporates → Gas
- Gas → condenses → Liquid
- Liquid → freezes → Solid

In the diagram:

Images: Teapot (gas), Puddle (liquid), Ice cube (solid)

Arrows:

- From gas (teapot) → curves up to top-left blank → then to top-right blank → then down to solid (ice cube)
- From solid → curves down to bottom-right blank → then to bottom-left blank → then up to gas

So:

Top-left blank: process from gas to ? → must be condensation → becomes liquid (but liquid is in the middle, not on top). Hmm.

Actually, perhaps the top blanks are the *processes*, and the middle blanks are the *states*.

Looking again:

Under each image:
- Teapot: Gas (given)
- Puddle: ??? → should be Liquid
- Ice cube: ??? → should be Solid

Then the arrows connect the states via processes.

So:

From Gas → arrow up to top-left blank → that’s the process that turns gas into something. If it’s going to become liquid, that’s Condensation. But where does it go? The arrow from top-left goes to top-right, which then goes down to solid? That doesn’t make sense.

Alternative approach: Let’s label the positions.

Imagine the diagram as a triangle:

Top: two blanks connected by arrow (left to right)

Left side: gas (teapot) with arrow going up to top-left blank

Right side: solid (ice cube) with arrow coming from top-right blank

Bottom: two blanks connected by arrow (right to left)

And from solid, arrow goes down to bottom-right blank, then to bottom-left blank, then up to gas.

Standard water cycle order:

Start at Solid (ice) → Melting → Liquid → Evaporation → Gas → Condensation → Liquid → Freezing → Solid

But here, they have only three states shown: gas, liquid, solid.

Perhaps the cycle is:

Gas → Condensation → Liquid → Freezing → Solid → Melting → Liquid → Evaporation → Gas? Too many steps.

Wait — maybe the diagram is simplified to show direct transitions.

Let me list what we know:

States:
- Gas (teapot) — given
- Puddle — must be Liquid
- Ice cube — must be Solid

Processes (from word bank):
- Melting: solid to liquid
- Freezing: liquid to solid
- Evaporation: liquid to gas
- Condensation: gas to liquid

Now, tracing the arrows:

1. From Gas (teapot) → arrow goes up to top-left blank. This should be the process that changes gas to the next state. Since gas turns to liquid via condensation, top-left = Condensation. Then the next state is Liquid (puddle), but the arrow from top-left goes to top-right, not directly to puddle.

This is confusing. Perhaps the top blanks are not processes but states? But the instruction says "fill in the missing words", and word bank includes both states and processes.

Another idea: Maybe the blanks under the images are for states, and the blanks on the arrows are for processes.

Yes! That makes sense.

So:

- Under teapot: Gas (given)
- Under puddle: ? → Liquid
- Under ice cube: ? → Solid

Then the arrows represent processes:

Arrow from Gas to ... : there's an arrow from gas going up to a blank (top-left). That blank is the process that turns gas into the next thing. But what is the next thing? The arrow from top-left goes to top-right, then down to solid? That would mean gas → process A → process B → solid, which isn't direct.

Perhaps the cycle is:

Gas --(condensation)--> Liquid --(freezing)--> Solid --(melting)--> Liquid --(evaporation)--> Gas

But that has liquid twice.

In the diagram, there are only three images, so likely the cycle is triangular:

Gas ↔ Liquid ↔ Solid

With processes on the arrows.

Let’s assign:

- Arrow from Gas to Liquid: Condensation (gas to liquid)
- Arrow from Liquid to Solid: Freezing (liquid to solid)
- Arrow from Solid to Liquid: Melting (solid to liquid)
- Arrow from Liquid to Gas: Evaporation (liquid to gas)

But in the diagram, the arrows are arranged in a circle with six blanks: two on top, two on bottom, and three under images (one given).

Count the blanks:

- Top: two horizontal blanks (connected by arrow left to right)
- Middle: three blanks under images (left: gas given, middle: ?, right: ?)
- Bottom: two horizontal blanks (connected by arrow right to left)

Total blanks to fill: 5 (since gas is given)

Word bank has 6 words, so one might not be used? Or all are used.

List of words: Melting, Liquid, Condensation, Solid, Freezing, Evaporation — that's 6 words.

Blanks: 5 to fill? No:

Under images: 2 blanks (middle and right)

Top: 2 blanks

Bottom: 2 blanks

Total 6 blanks, but gas is given, so 5 to fill? No, gas is written, but it's not a blank; the blanks are the lines.

Looking at the image description: "Fill in the missing words from the word bank below" and there are lines for blanks.

Typically in such diagrams:

- The states are labeled under the pictures: so puddle should be "Liquid", ice cube "Solid"

- The processes are on the arrows: so the curved arrows have blanks for the process names.

In the diagram, there are four curved arrows:

1. From gas up to top-left blank
2. From top-left to top-right blank
3. From top-right down to solid
4. From solid down to bottom-right blank
5. From bottom-right to bottom-left blank
6. From bottom-left up to gas

That's six arrows, but some are straight.

Perhaps it's better to think that the top two blanks are for the processes between gas and liquid, and liquid and solid, but it's messy.

I recall that in many such worksheets, the cycle is:

Start with solid (ice) -> melting -> liquid -> evaporation -> gas -> condensation -> liquid -> freezing -> solid

But here, they have only three states shown, so likely the diagram intends:

- The state under puddle: Liquid
- The state under ice: Solid
- The process from gas to liquid: Condensation (on the arrow from gas to the top-left, but then to where?)

Let's look for a standard answer.

Since this is Year 5 science, the expected answers are:

Under puddle: Liquid

Under ice: Solid

Then the processes:

From gas to liquid: Condensation

From liquid to solid: Freezing

From solid to liquid: Melting

From liquid to gas: Evaporation

In the diagram, the arrow from gas goes up, which might be to condensation, then to liquid, but liquid is in the middle.

Perhaps the top-left blank is "Condensation", and it points to the liquid state, but the arrow goes to top-right.

Another way: maybe the top blanks are the states after the process.

I think I found a better approach.

Let me number the blanks as per common layout:

Blank A: top-left (after arrow from gas)
Blank B: top-right (after arrow from A)
Blank C: under puddle
Blank D: under ice
Blank E: bottom-right (after arrow from solid)
Blank F: bottom-left (after arrow from E)

Then:

- From gas, arrow to A: so A is the process or state? If A is a process, then from gas, process A leads to B.

But B is then connected to solid, so if B is a state, it should be liquid or something.

Assume that the blanks on the arrows are processes, and the blanks under images are states.

So:

- Under puddle: C = Liquid
- Under ice: D = Solid

Now, arrow from gas to A: A is the process that changes gas to the next state. What is the next state? The arrow from A goes to B, and B goes to solid. So if B is a state, it must be liquid, but liquid is already under puddle.

This is inconsistent.

Perhaps the diagram has the states at the corners, and processes on the sides.

Let's imagine the triangle:

Top vertex: blank A (state)
Left vertex: gas (teapot)
Right vertex: solid (ice cube)
Bottom: puddle (liquid) — but it's in the middle.

I think I need to accept that the intended solution is:

- Under puddle: Liquid
- Under ice: Solid
- Top-left blank: Condensation (process from gas to liquid)
- Top-right blank: Freezing (process from liquid to solid) — but the arrow from top-left to top-right, then to solid, so if top-left is condensation, it should lead to liquid, not to freezing.

Unless the top-left is the state after condensation, which is liquid, but liquid is already under puddle.

I recall that in some diagrams, they have:

Gas --condensation--> Liquid --freezing--> Solid --melting--> Liquid --evaporation--> Gas

But that has liquid twice.

For this worksheet, likely the cycle is:

Start from solid:
- Solid --melting--> Liquid
- Liquid --evaporation--> Gas
- Gas --condensation--> Liquid
- Liquid --freezing--> Solid

But again, liquid appears twice.

Perhaps for simplicity, they show:

From gas to liquid: condensation
From liquid to solid: freezing
From solid to gas: sublimation, but that's not in word bank.

Word bank has melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, liquid, solid.

So probably, the missing states are liquid and solid, and the processes are the others.

Let's count the blanks again.

From the user's image description, there are:

- Two blanks on the top row (horizontal)
- Three blanks in the middle row: under teapot (gas given), under puddle (blank), under ice (blank)
- Two blanks on the bottom row (horizontal)

So 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 blanks, but gas is given, so 5 to fill? No, gas is written, but it's not a blank; the blank is the line under it, but it's filled with "Gas", so for the other two under images, we need to fill.

So blanks to fill:
- Middle row: 2 blanks (puddle and ice)
- Top row: 2 blanks
- Bottom row: 2 blanks
Total 6 blanks.

Word bank has 6 words, so all will be used.

Now, let's assign based on logic.

First, the states:
- Puddle is water, so Liquid
- Ice cube is frozen water, so Solid

So:
- Under puddle: Liquid
- Under ice: Solid

Now, the processes.

The arrow from gas (teapot) goes up to the top-left blank. This should be the process that turns gas into the next thing. Since gas turns to liquid by condensation, top-left = Condensation.

Then, the arrow from top-left goes to top-right blank. If top-left is condensation, it should result in liquid, but liquid is already placed under puddle. Perhaps the top-right blank is the state after condensation, which is liquid, but we already have liquid under puddle, so that would be duplicate.

Unless the top blanks are not states but processes.

Perhaps the top-left blank is the process, and the top-right blank is the next process.

From gas, after condensation, we have liquid. Then from liquid, we can have freezing to solid or evaporation to gas.

In the diagram, from the top-right blank, arrow goes down to solid, so if top-right is a process, it should be freezing (liquid to solid).

So:
- Top-left: Condensation (gas to liquid)
- Top-right: Freezing (liquid to solid)

But then, what about the state liquid? It's under puddle, which is correct.

Then from solid, arrow goes down to bottom-right blank. This should be the process from solid to next state. Solid to liquid is melting, so bottom-right = Melting.

Then arrow from bottom-right to bottom-left blank. After melting, we have liquid, so bottom-left should be the process from liquid to gas, which is Evaporation.

Then arrow from bottom-left back to gas, which completes the cycle.

Let's verify:

- Gas --(Condensation)--> Liquid (puddle) --(Freezing)--> Solid (ice) --(Melting)--> Liquid --(Evaporation)--> Gas

But in this path, liquid appears twice: once after condensation, and once after melting. In the diagram, there's only one puddle image, so it's a bit redundant, but logically it works.

In the diagram, the arrow from bottom-left goes back to gas, and bottom-left is Evaporation, which is liquid to gas, so yes.

Now, what about the states under the images: we have gas, liquid, solid — all covered.

The processes on the arrows:
- From gas to top-left: Condensation
- From top-left to top-right: but top-left is a process, top-right is also a process? That doesn't make sense because processes don't lead to processes; they lead to states.

I think I have a mistake.

In standard diagramming, the blanks on the arrows are the process names, and the states are at the nodes.

In this case, the nodes are:
- Teapot: gas
- Puddle: liquid
- Ice: solid

Then the arrows between them should have the process names.

But in the diagram, the arrows are not directly between the images; there are additional blanks on the top and bottom.

Perhaps the top and bottom blanks are for the processes, and the middle blanks are for states.

Let's try this:

- The state under puddle: Liquid
- The state under ice: Solid

Then:
- The arrow from gas to the top-left blank: this blank is the process that occurs when gas changes, so Condensation, and it results in liquid, but the arrow goes to top-right, not to liquid.

Unless the top-left blank is "Condensation", and it is associated with the change to liquid, but the arrow is drawn to top-right for some reason.

Perhaps the top-left blank is the state after the process from gas.

I found a similar worksheet online in my knowledge: for "Changing State of Water", the typical answers are:

- Under puddle: Liquid
- Under ice: Solid
- Top-left: Condensation
- Top-right: Freezing
- Bottom-right: Melting
- Bottom-left: Evaporation

And the cycle is understood as:

Gas --condensation--> Liquid --freezing--> Solid --melting--> Liquid --evaporation--> Gas

Even though liquid is repeated, it's acceptable for the diagram.

In the word bank, all words are used: Condensation, Freezing, Melting, Evaporation, Liquid, Solid.

Perfect.

So to confirm:

- Blank under puddle: Liquid
- Blank under ice: Solid
- Top-left blank: Condensation
- Top-right blank: Freezing
- Bottom-right blank: Melting
- Bottom-left blank: Evaporation

Now, let's write it in order as per the diagram.

The diagram has:

Top row: left blank, then arrow to right blank

Middle row: teapot (gas), puddle (blank), ice (blank)

Bottom row: right blank, then arrow to left blank (since arrow is from right to left on bottom)

In the user's description: "bottom row: two blanks" with arrow from right to left.

So:

- Top-left: Condensation
- Top-right: Freezing
- Middle-puddle: Liquid
- Middle-ice: Solid
- Bottom-right: Melting
- Bottom-left: Evaporation

Yes.

Final Answer:

- Under the puddle: Liquid
- Under the ice cube: Solid
- Top-left blank: Condensation
- Top-right blank: Freezing
- Bottom-right blank: Melting
- Bottom-left blank: Evaporation

Now, to present it clearly.
