Let’s work through the worksheet step by step.
---
Q1 – Write the missing words:
We are given a word bank:
Solid, Mass, Gas, Matter, Liquid, Volume, States
Now let’s match each sentence with the correct word from the list.
a. “Everything you see around you is: ___”
→ This is referring to all physical stuff — that’s
Matter.
b. “All matter weighs something (has ___)”
→ Weight comes from mass →
Mass
c. “All matter takes up space (has ___)”
→ Taking up space = volume →
Volume
d. “Matter exists in one of the three ___”
→ The three forms are solid, liquid, gas → these are called
States
e. “___ have a fixed shape and can be held.”
→ Solids hold their shape →
Solids
f. “___ feel wet, can be poured and take the shape of their container.”
→ That’s liquids →
Liquids
g. “___ move around, fill up spaces and are usually invisible.”
→ Gases do this →
Gases
✔ So Q1 answers:
a. Matter
b. Mass
c. Volume
d. States
e. Solids
f. Liquids
g. Gases

Q2 – List the differences among solids, liquids and gases.
We need to fill in the table for Shape, Volume, and Particles.
Let’s recall:
🔹
Shape:
- Solid → Fixed shape
- Liquid → Takes shape of container
- Gas → Takes shape of container (and fills it completely)
🔹
Volume:
- Solid → Fixed volume
- Liquid → Fixed volume
- Gas → No fixed volume (expands to fill container)
🔹
Particles:
- Solid → Tightly packed, vibrate in place
- Liquid → Close but slide past each other
- Gas → Far apart, move freely and quickly
So here’s how we fill the table:
| Property | Solid | Liquid | Gas |
|------------|-------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|
| Shape | Fixed | Takes container’s shape | Takes container’s shape |
| Volume | Fixed | Fixed | Not fixed |
| Particles | Tightly packed | Slide past each other | Move freely, far apart |

Final Answer:
Q1:
a. Matter
b. Mass
c. Volume
d. States
e. Solids
f. Liquids
g. Gases
Q2:
Shape: Solid = Fixed; Liquid = Takes container’s shape; Gas = Takes container’s shape
Volume: Solid = Fixed; Liquid = Fixed; Gas = Not fixed
Particles: Solid = Tightly packed; Liquid = Slide past each other; Gas = Move freely, far apart
