Let’s solve this step by step.
We are learning about how matter changes state — like when water turns to ice, or steam turns back to water. The word bank gives us the words we need:
heat, cool, melts, freezes, condense, vapor
---
First, look at the
GAS section (top part):
1. “If you ______ water it turns into ______ to form gas.”
→ When you add heat to water, it becomes water vapor (gas). So:
heat and
vapor
2. “When water vapor touches a ______ surface it begins to ______”
→ When warm vapor hits something cold, it turns back to liquid — that’s called condensing. So:
cool and
condense
---
Now the
LIQUID section (middle):
3. “If you ______ ice it ______ to form water.”
→ Ice is solid. To turn it to liquid water, you melt it — which needs heat. But the sentence says “if you ___ ice”, so we use “heat” again? Wait — let’s check the word bank. We already used “heat” once, but it can be reused if needed. Actually, looking at the structure:
- First blank: what do you do to ice? You
heat it.
- Second blank: what happens? It
melts.
→ So:
heat,
melts
Wait — hold on! Let’s double-check. In the first box under GAS, we used “heat” for turning water to vapor. Now here, heating ice makes it melt — yes, that’s correct.
But wait — maybe they want “warm”? No, “warm” isn’t in the word bank. Only “heat” is available. So yes, “heat” and “melts”.
Actually — let’s re-read carefully:
The sentence is: “If you ______ ice it ______ to form water.”
Yes — you
heat ice → it
melts → becomes water.
4. “If you ______ water it ______ to form ice.”
→ To turn water to ice, you remove heat — you
cool it → it
freezes.
→ So:
cool,
freezes
---
Let’s list all answers in order as they appear in the worksheet:
Top left (Gas):
- If you
heat water it turns into
vapor to form gas.
- When water vapor touches a
cool surface it begins to
condense
Middle left (Liquid from Solid):
- If you
heat ice it
melts to form water.
- If you
cool water it
freezes to form ice.
Wait — did we use “heat” twice? Yes — and that’s okay because it’s in the word bank and applies to both melting ice and boiling water.
Also, note: “vapor” is used only once — in the first box.
Let’s verify each term from the word bank is used appropriately:
Word Bank: heat, cool, melts, freezes, condense, vapor
Used:
- heat → used in two places (ok)
- cool → used in two places (ok)
- melts → used once
- freezes → used once
- condense → used once
- vapor → used once
All words are used correctly.
Final filled-in sentences:
GAS:
- If you
heat water it turns into
vapor to form gas.
- When water vapor touches a
cool surface it begins to
condense
LIQUID:
- If you
heat ice it
melts to form water.
- If you
cool water it
freezes to form ice.
SOLID: (no blanks — just labeled)
Everything checks out.
Final Answer:
heat, vapor, cool, condense, heat, melts, cool, freezes
