Step-by-step solution for: 5th Grade Science worksheets - Edform
Let’s go step by step to fill in each blank using the word bank provided.
Word Bank:
solids, volume, container, matter, ice, juice
gases, mass, atoms, chair, oxygen, melting
liquids, shape, space, milk, helium
---
1. The three basic properties of matter are _______________, _______________, and _______________.
→ From science basics: matter has mass, volume, and takes up space (or sometimes “shape” is used for solids/liquids/gases context — but here, looking at the word bank, we have “mass”, “volume”, and “space”). Also, note that “shape” is listed too — but typically the 3 basic properties taught early are mass, volume, and state (solid/liquid/gas) — but since “state” isn’t in the box, and “space” is, let’s check sentence 3 and 4.
Actually, sentence 3 says: “Volume is the amount of ______ that matter takes up.” → That must be “space”.
Sentence 4: “Mass is the amount of ______ on an object has.” → That must be “matter”? Wait — no, mass is the amount of *stuff* — actually, standard definition: mass = amount of matter. But “matter” is already a general term. Let’s look again.
Wait — perhaps the three basic properties are mass, volume, and shape? Because later sentences talk about shape for liquids and gases.
But let’s cross-check with common elementary curriculum: Often, they say matter has mass, volume, and can be solid/liquid/gas — but those are states, not properties per se.
Looking at the worksheet title: “Why Does Matter Matter?” — it’s likely teaching basic properties.
Also, sentence 6: “______ do not have a definite shape or volume.” → That’s gases.
Sentence 7: “______ do not have a definite shape, but they do have a definite volume.” → Liquids.
Sentence 8: “______ have a definite shape and volume.” → Solids.
So back to #1: The three basic properties — probably mass, volume, and shape? Or maybe mass, volume, and state? But “state” isn’t in the word bank.
Wait — the word bank includes: solids, volume, container, matter, ice, juice, gases, mass, atoms, chair, oxygen, melting, liquids, shape, space, milk, helium.
“Space” is there — and sentence 3 uses it for volume.
Perhaps the three properties are: mass, volume, and shape — because shape changes depending on state.
But let’s see what fits best.
Alternative idea: Maybe the three properties are mass, volume, and atoms? No — atoms are particles, not properties.
I think the intended answer is: mass, volume, and shape — because later questions contrast how different states handle shape and volume.
But wait — sentence 3: “Volume is the amount of ______ that matter takes up.” → Clearly “space”.
Sentence 4: “Mass is the amount of ______ an object has.” → Should be “matter” — yes! Mass is the amount of matter.
Then what’s the third property? Perhaps “shape” — as in, whether it holds its shape or not.
In many curricula, the three measurable properties introduced are mass, volume, and density — but density isn’t here.
Another thought: Maybe the three are mass, volume, and state — but “state” isn’t in the box.
Wait — perhaps it’s mass, volume, and atoms? No.
Let me look ahead.
Sentence 2: All matter is made up of tiny particles called ______ → That’s definitely “atoms”.
Sentence 3: Volume is the amount of ______ → “space”
Sentence 4: Mass is the amount of ______ → “matter”
Then sentence 5: Liquids take the shape of their ______ → “container”
That makes sense.
Now back to #1: If mass and volume are two, what’s the third? Looking at the pattern, perhaps “shape” — because the whole worksheet contrasts how solids, liquids, gases behave regarding shape and volume.
Moreover, in some textbooks, they list: matter has mass, volume, and occupies space — but “occupies space” is essentially volume.
Wait — perhaps the three are: mass, volume, and shape — even though shape isn't always considered a "property" like mass/volume, in this context it might be.
Alternatively, maybe it's mass, volume, and state — but again, not in word bank.
Let’s check online or standard answers for similar worksheets — but since I can’t, I’ll reason from the sentences.
Notice that sentences 6-8 define gases, liquids, solids based on shape and volume.
So perhaps the three basic properties being referred to are related to how matter behaves: i.e., having mass, taking up space (volume), and having a certain shape behavior.
But I think the most logical fit given the word bank and subsequent questions is:
#1: The three basic properties of matter are mass, volume, and shape.
Why? Because:
- Sentence 4 defines mass.
- Sentence 3 defines volume (as space).
- Then sentences 5-8 discuss how shape behaves in different states.
Also, “shape” is in the word bank.
Some might argue “space” instead of “shape”, but “space” is used in sentence 3 for volume.
Let’s tentatively put: mass, volume, shape.
But wait — another possibility: in some contexts, the three properties are mass, volume, and density — not here.
Or perhaps: mass, volume, and atoms — no.
I recall that in some elementary materials, they say matter has three characteristics: it has mass, it takes up space (volume), and it is made of particles — but particles is sentence 2.
Perhaps for #1, it’s mass, volume, and the fact that it’s made of atoms — but that seems stretched.
Let’s look at the exact wording: “The three basic properties of matter are...”
In physics, properties include mass, volume, density, etc.
But for kids, often: mass, volume, and state.
Since “state” isn’t available, and “shape” is, and the worksheet focuses on shape/volume differences, I think “shape” is intended.
Moreover, in sentence 5: “Liquids take the shape of their container” — implying shape is a key concept.
So I’ll go with: mass, volume, shape
But let’s confirm with sentence 4: “Mass is the amount of ______ an object has.” → Must be “matter” — yes, mass = amount of matter.
Sentence 3: “Volume is the amount of ______ that matter takes up.” → “space”
So for #1, if we say mass, volume, and shape — that works.
Perhaps it’s mass, volume, and space — but space is redundant with volume.
I think shape is correct.
Moving on.
2. All matter is made up of tiny particles called ______ → “atoms” — clear.
3. Volume is the amount of ______ that matter takes up → “space”
4. Mass is the amount of ______ an object has → “matter” — yes, standard definition.
5. Liquids take the shape of their ______ → “container”
6. ______ do not have a definite shape or volume → “gases”
7. ______ do not have a definite shape, but they do have a definite volume → “liquids”
8. ______ have a definite shape and volume → “solids”
9. A ______ and ______ are examples of solids → from word bank: “chair” and “ice” — both solids. “Ice” is solid water, “chair” is typical solid object.
10. ______ and ______ are examples of liquids → “juice” and “milk” — both liquids.
11. ______ and ______ are examples of gas → “oxygen” and “helium” — both gases.
12. Solid ice is ______ when it is changing into a liquid → “melting”
Perfect.
Now back to #1: We have to choose three words from the bank.
We’ve used: atoms, space, matter, container, gases, liquids, solids, chair, ice, juice, milk, oxygen, helium, melting.
Left in bank: volume, shape — and also “solids” etc. are used, but for #1, we need three.
Available unused: volume, shape — and perhaps others, but let’s list all words and mark used.
Word bank:
- solids (used in 8)
- volume (not yet used in answers, but will be in #1)
- container (used in 5)
- matter (used in 4)
- ice (used in 9)
- juice (used in 10)
- gases (used in 6)
- mass (will be in #1)
- atoms (used in 2)
- chair (used in 9)
- oxygen (used in 11)
- melting (used in 12)
- liquids (used in 7)
- shape (will be in #1)
- space (used in 3)
- milk (used in 10)
- helium (used in 11)
So for #1, we can use: mass, volume, shape — all available.
And it makes sense with the flow of the worksheet.
Some might argue that “space” should be one, but “space” is already used in sentence 3 for volume definition.
Whereas “shape” is central to distinguishing states.
So final decision for #1: mass, volume, shape
Now, order? Probably doesn’t matter, but typically mass first, then volume, then shape.
So:
1. mass, volume, shape
2. atoms
3. space
4. matter
5. container
6. gases
7. liquids
8. solids
9. chair, ice (or ice, chair — either way)
10. juice, milk (or milk, juice)
11. oxygen, helium (or helium, oxygen)
12. melting
All fit perfectly.
Final Answer:
1. mass, volume, shape
2. atoms
3. space
4. matter
5. container
6. gases
7. liquids
8. solids
9. chair, ice
10. juice, milk
11. oxygen, helium
12. melting
Word Bank:
solids, volume, container, matter, ice, juice
gases, mass, atoms, chair, oxygen, melting
liquids, shape, space, milk, helium
