Final Answer:
ice cream (helado) — solid
foam (espuma) — gas
soda (refresco) — liquid
Explanation:
Let’s think about each ingredient like we’re sorting toys into boxes: solid, liquid, or gas.
1. Ice cream — It holds its shape until it melts. You can scoop it and put it on top of your drink. That means it’s a
solid. (Even though it’s soft, it doesn’t flow like water.)
2. Foam — This is the bubbly stuff on top. Bubbles are made of gas (like air or carbon dioxide from the soda) trapped in liquid. But since the main part of foam is gas bubbles, we call it a
gas for this experiment.
3. Soda — It pours, flows, and takes the shape of the glass. That’s what liquids do. So soda is a
liquid.
So, to summarize:
- Ice cream = solid
- Foam = gas
- Soda = liquid
This matches how scientists classify them in simple experiments like this one.
