Evaporation and Condensation - Free Printable

The image shows a diagram that explains how substances change states (solid, liquid, gas) based on temperature changes. The goal is to match each arrow with the correct process: melting, freezing, evaporation, or condensation.

Let’s break it down step by step:

1. Left side: A glass with ice cubes → this represents a solid (ice).
2. Middle: A glass with water → this represents a liquid.
3. Right side: A steaming mug → this represents a gas (water vapor).

Now look at the arrows:

- Top arrow (left to right): “TEMPERATURE INCREASES” — so we’re going from solid → liquid → gas.
- Solid to liquid = melting
- Liquid to gas = evaporation

- Bottom arrow (right to left): “TEMPERATURE DECREASES” — so we’re going from gas → liquid → solid.
- Gas to liquid = condensation
- Liquid to solid = freezing

So, matching the processes to the arrows:

→ From ice to water (melting)
→ From water to steam (evaporation)
→ From steam to water (condensation)
→ From water to ice (freezing)

Final Answer:
Melting, Evaporation, Condensation, Freezing
