Let's solve this States of Matter Worksheet step by step.

We are given a set of images and need to classify each one into one of the three states of matter: Solids, Liquids, or Gases.

🔹 Step 1: Understand the States of Matter

- Solid: Has a definite shape and volume. It maintains its form.
- Liquid: Has a definite volume but no fixed shape; it takes the shape of its container.
- Gas: No definite shape or volume; expands to fill its container.

🔹 Step 2: Analyze Each Image

Let’s go through each image and determine its state:

1. Tornado → A swirling mass of air — Gas
2. Ice cube → Solid water — Solid
3. Milk carton → Contains milk (liquid) — Liquid
4. Orange juice in a glass → Liquid — Liquid
5. Paint can with brush → Paint is liquid — Liquid
6. Brick wall → Made of bricks — Solid
7. Log of wood → Wood is solid — Solid
8. Cloud → Made of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in air — Gas (but actually, clouds are a mix of liquid droplets and vapor; however, in basic science, they're often classified as gas due to being part of the atmosphere)
- But note: Clouds contain liquid water droplets suspended in gas (air). For simplicity in elementary education, clouds are often considered gases.
9. Water bottle → Water inside is liquid — Liquid
10. Smiling cloud (cartoon) → Representing vapor/air — Gas
11. Tea in a cup with spoon → Tea is liquid — Liquid
12. Open book → Paper is solid — Solid
13. Pot with steam → The steam rising is water vapor — Gas
14. Balloons (red, green, blue) → Filled with helium or air — Gas
15. Factory with smoke → Smoke coming out — Gas

🔹 Step 3: Categorize All Items

Now, assign each item to the correct category:

#### ✔ Solids
- Ice cube
- Brick wall
- Log of wood
- Open book

> That's 4 solids.

#### ✔ Liquids
- Milk carton (milk)
- Orange juice in glass
- Paint can (paint)
- Water bottle (water)
- Tea in cup

> That's 5 liquids.

#### ✔ Gases
- Tornado
- Cloud (first one)
- Smiling cloud (second one)
- Steam from pot
- Balloons (filled with gas)
- Factory smoke

> That's 6 gases.

🔹 Final Answer:

Here’s how to fill in the boxes:

#### Solids
1. Ice cube
2. Brick wall
3. Log of wood
4. Open book

#### Liquids
1. Milk carton
2. Orange juice
3. Paint can
4. Water bottle
5. Tea in cup

#### Gases
1. Tornado
2. Cloud
3. Smiling cloud
4. Steam from pot
5. Balloons
6. Factory smoke

✔ Summary Table:

| Solids | Liquids | Gases |
|--------|---------|-------|
| Ice cube | Milk | Tornado |
| Brick wall | Orange juice | Cloud |
| Log of wood | Paint | Smiling cloud |
| Open book | Water bottle | Steam |
| | Tea | Balloons |
| | | Factory smoke |

> Note: Some items like "cloud" might be debated scientifically (since they contain liquid droplets), but in educational contexts at this level, they are typically grouped under gases because they represent atmospheric conditions and are not visible as liquids.

---

✔ Final Answer: Place the above items in the respective columns accordingly.
