Year 2 Solid,liquid and gas worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go through each labeled part one by one and decide if it’s a gas, liquid, or solid.

First diagram: Kettle pouring into a cup

- kettle → This is the metal or plastic container you hold. It doesn’t change shape on its own — it’s hard and fixed. So, it’s a solid.

- water vapour → This is the steam coming out of the kettle. Steam is water turned into gas when heated. So, it’s a gas.

- water → The liquid being poured into the cup. It flows and takes the shape of the cup. That’s a liquid.

Second diagram: Hot air balloon

- cloud → Clouds are made of tiny water droplets or ice crystals floating in the sky. But for this level, we usually say clouds are made of liquid (tiny drops) or sometimes mixed with solid (ice). However, since they float like mist and aren’t frozen solid, we’ll call them liquid here. *(Note: In some contexts, clouds can be considered as containing both liquid and solid, but for basic science at this level, “liquid” is acceptable.)*

Wait — let’s double-check. Actually, clouds are mostly tiny liquid water droplets suspended in air. So yes, liquid.

But hold on — some might argue that because they’re floating and spread out, they’re like gas? No — gas is invisible. You can see clouds, so they’re not pure gas. They’re tiny bits of liquid. So still liquid.

Actually — correction! In many elementary curricula, clouds are taught as being made of water vapor condensing into tiny liquid droplets — so the visible cloud is liquid.

BUT — wait again! Let me think carefully. Water vapor itself is a gas — but when it cools and forms clouds, it becomes tiny liquid droplets. So the *cloud* you see is liquid.

Yes — final decision: liquid

- hot air → Air is always a gas, even when hot. Hot air rises because it’s less dense, but it’s still a gas.

Third diagram: Glass of lemonade

- bubbles → These are pockets of carbon dioxide gas trapped in the drink. Even though they’re inside a liquid, the bubbles themselves are gas.

- lemonade → This is the drink — it flows, you can pour it, it takes the shape of the glass. Definitely a liquid.

- glass → The container holding the lemonade. Hard, rigid, doesn’t flow. That’s a solid.

Now let’s list all answers clearly:

1. kettle → solid
2. water vapour → gas
3. water → liquid
4. cloud → liquid
5. hot air → gas
6. bubbles → gas
7. lemonade → liquid
8. glass → solid

Wait — I need to make sure about “cloud”. Let me verify once more.

In primary school science:
- Gas = invisible, fills space (like air, steam)
- Liquid = flows, has volume but no fixed shape (like water, juice)
- Solid = fixed shape and volume (like rock, cup)

Clouds are visible — so not gas. They’re made of tiny water droplets — which are liquid. So yes, liquid is correct.

Some advanced sources may say clouds contain ice crystals (solid) too, but unless specified, we go with the most common teaching: clouds = liquid droplets.

Final check complete.
