Step-by-step solution for: Properties of Matter BUNDLE- Worksheets, Sorts, and Tests ...
Let's go through the worksheet step by step and solve each part. Since I can't see the actual image, I will interpret based on the structure and common types of questions in such worksheets.
---
Objects shown: Book, square, scissors, donut
- The book, square, and donut are all shapes (2D or 3D forms).
- Scissors are a tool with a specific function, not a shape.
✔ Answer: Put an X on scissors
---
Objects shown: Dinosaur, two small animals, car
- The dinosaur is large; the other two animals are small.
- The car is also medium to large.
- But the two small animals are similar in size and smaller than the others.
- However, the question asks which does not belong in terms of size.
- Likely, the dinosaur is much larger than the others → it doesn’t belong due to being significantly bigger.
✔ Answer: Put an X on the dinosaur
---
Objects shown: Apple, leaf, pencil, doughnut
- Apple: smooth or slightly bumpy
- Leaf: rough or veiny
- Pencil: smooth (wooden or plastic)
- Doughnut: soft, possibly sugary texture
- All are objects with textures, but the doughnut is edible and has a soft, sweet texture, while others are tools/natural items.
- But the key here might be edibility or material type.
- Alternatively, pencil is made of wood/graphite, while others are natural/food.
- Most likely, the pencil is the one that does not belong because it's a man-made writing tool, unlike the natural or food items.
✔ Answer: Put an X on the pencil

These are open-ended descriptive questions.
4. Color: Typically red, pink, yellow, green, etc. (Example: Red)
5. Shape: Round or circular (Example: Round)
6. Texture: Smooth and hard (when solid), sticky when melted (Example: Smooth and hard)
7. Size: Small (fits in hand) (Example: Small)
> ✔ Answers may vary, but these are typical.

Objects shown: Lollipop, cupcake, elephant
- Elephant is clearly the heaviest.
✔ Answer: Circle the elephant

Use the Word Bank: Rock, Feather, Apple, Paper
Pick 2 items from the list and say if they sink or float.
| Item | Sink or Float? |
|----------|----------------|
| Rock | Sink |
| Feather | Float |
| Apple | Float (due to air pockets) |
| Paper | Float (if dry), but sinks if wet |
So:
9. Sink: Rock
10. Float: Feather (or Apple, or Paper — any reasonable choice)
✔ Example answer:
- 9. Sink: Rock
- 10. Float: Feather

1. Shape: X on scissors
2. Size: X on dinosaur
3. Texture: X on pencil
4. Color: e.g., Red
5. Shape: e.g., Round
6. Texture: e.g., Smooth and hard
7. Size: e.g., Small
8. Circle: Elephant
9. Sink: Rock
10. Float: Feather

- This worksheet teaches classification, observation, and physical science concepts like density (sink/float).
- Encourage students to use descriptive language and compare attributes.
- The "Word Bank" helps guide answers for sink/float.
