Problem: States of Matter Worksheet

#### Task 1: Give two examples of matter in solid, liquid, and gas states found in your surrounding.

- Solid: Examples include wood (e.g., a table or chair) and metal (e.g., a spoon or coin).
- Liquid: Examples include water (e.g., in a glass or bottle) and milk.
- Gas: Examples include air (the atmosphere around us) and oxygen (used for breathing).

#### Task 2: Classify the materials and objects based on their states of matter.

The list provided includes:
- Oxygen
- Carbon dioxide
- Paper clip
- Sweat
- Soy sauce
- Dice
- Water vapor
- Spoon
- Palm oil
- Biscuit

We need to classify these into solid, liquid, and gas.

- Solid: These are materials that have a definite shape and volume.
- Paper clip
- Dice
- Spoon
- Biscuit

- Liquid: These are materials that have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
- Sweat
- Soy sauce
- Palm oil

- Gas: These are materials that have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.
- Oxygen
- Carbon dioxide
- Water vapor

#### Task 3: Observe the pictures below. Choose the properties of the following materials.

The images show:
- (a) Water: This is in the liquid state.
- (b) Ice: This is in the solid state.

Properties of water and ice:
- Water (liquid):
- Takes the shape of its container.
- Flows easily.
- Has a definite volume but not a definite shape.

- Ice (solid):
- Has a definite shape and volume.
- Does not flow like a liquid.
- Is rigid and maintains its form.

Final Answers:

1. Examples of matter in different states:
- Solid: Wood, Metal
- Liquid: Water, Milk
- Gas: Air, Oxygen

2. Classification of materials:
- Solid: Paper clip, Dice, Spoon, Biscuit
- Liquid: Sweat, Soy sauce, Palm oil
- Gas: Oxygen, Carbon dioxide, Water vapor

3. Properties of materials:
- Water (liquid): Takes the shape of its container, flows easily, has a definite volume but not a definite shape.
- Ice (solid): Has a definite shape and volume, does not flow, is rigid.
