Let's solve this step-by-step based on the worksheet titled
"States of Matter".
---
🔹 Step 1: Write the Three States of Matter
The three states of matter are:
-
Solid
-
Liquid
-
Gas
So, fill in the top boxes with:
>
Solid,
Liquid,
Gas
---
🔹 Step 2: Label Each Picture Based on the State of Matter
Now, analyze each image and determine which state it represents.
#### 🔹 First Row (Molecular Models):
1.
First beaker (left): Molecules tightly packed together, not moving much.
- This shows particles close together in a fixed shape →
Solid
2.
Second beaker (middle): Molecules are closer but can move past each other.
- Particles are more spread out than solid, but still in contact →
Liquid
3.
Third beaker (right): Molecules are far apart and moving freely.
- Particles are widely spaced and spread out →
Gas
✔ Labels for first row:
-
Solid
-
Liquid
-
Gas

#### 🔹 Second Row (Real-world Objects):
4.
Rock (orange block)
- Has a definite shape and volume →
Solid
5.
Bottle of milk
- Milk flows and takes the shape of its container →
Liquid
6.
Wind with clouds (air movement)
- Air is invisible, spreads out, fills space →
Gas
✔ Labels for second row:
-
Solid
-
Liquid
-
Gas

🔹 Step 3: Answer the Final Question
>
What happened to the ice when exposed to different environments?
This question is asking about
changes in state due to temperature or environment.
Answer:
When ice (a solid) is exposed to different environments, it can change its state depending on the temperature:
- In a
cold environment (like a freezer), the ice remains a
solid because the temperature is below freezing.
- In a
room-temperature environment, the ice
melts and turns into
liquid water as heat energy breaks the bonds between molecules.
- In a
hot environment or if heated further, the liquid water can
evaporate and turn into
water vapor (gas).
So, ice changes from
solid → liquid → gas as temperature increases.
✔ Final answer:
> When ice is exposed to different environments, it can melt into liquid water in warm conditions and evaporate into water vapor in hot conditions. The state of matter changes due to temperature changes.

✔ Completed Worksheet Summary:
#### Top Boxes:
-
Solid
-
Liquid
-
Gas
#### First Row (Molecular Diagrams):
1.
Solid
2.
Liquid
3.
Gas
#### Second Row (Images):
1. Rock →
Solid
2. Milk →
Liquid
3. Wind/Clouds →
Gas
#### Final Answer:
> Ice changes state depending on the environment. In cold temperatures, it stays solid. In warmer temperatures, it melts into liquid water. In hot conditions, it can evaporate into water vapor (gas). These changes happen because heat affects how molecules move and interact.
