Interactive science worksheet for children to learn about states of matter by matching objects to their correct form—solid, liquid, or gas.

Let's solve this "States of Matter" matching activity step by step.

We are given several objects, and we need to match each object to its correct state of matter — solid, liquid, or gas. Here are the objects and their descriptions:

---

Objects and Their States:

1. Air (inside the balloon)
- Air is a gas. It fills the space inside the balloon and takes the shape of the container.
- ✔ State: Gas

2. Paint (inside the can)
- Paint is a thick fluid that flows but has a definite volume. It’s not a gas or solid.
- ✔ State: Liquid

3. Log
- A log is made of wood, which is rigid and maintains its shape.
- ✔ State: Solid

4. Glass of water
- Water in a glass is a liquid; it has a definite volume but takes the shape of the container.
- ✔ State: Liquid

5. Vapor
- Vapor (like steam) is water in its gaseous form.
- ✔ State: Gas

6. Milk (inside the carton)
- Milk is a liquid that flows and takes the shape of the container.
- ✔ State: Liquid

7. Icicle
- An icicle is frozen water, so it’s solid.
- ✔ State: Solid

Now, let's match the objects to their correct state of matter:

We have three states:
- Solid
- Liquid
- Gas

But the worksheet asks us to draw lines to match the objects to their correct state.

So here’s how the matches should be:

✔ Correct Matching:

- Air (inside the balloon) → Gas
- Paint (inside the can) → Liquid
- Log → Solid
- Glass of water → Liquid
- Vapor → Gas
- Milk (inside the carton) → Liquid
- Icicle → Solid

Final Answer (Matching):

| Object | State of Matter |
|-----------------------------|------------------|
| Air (inside the balloon) | Gas |
| Paint (inside the can) | Liquid |
| Log | Solid |
| Glass of water | Liquid |
| Vapor | Gas |
| Milk (inside the carton) | Liquid |
| Icicle | Solid |

Instructions for Drawing Lines:

On the worksheet, draw a line from:
- Air (balloon) → Gas
- Paint → Liquid
- Log → Solid
- Glass of water → Liquid
- Vapor → Gas
- Milk → Liquid
- Icicle → Solid

> Note: The image does not show the answer choices labeled as “Solid,” “Liquid,” or “Gas” on the right side. But based on standard versions of this worksheet, those labels are typically placed at the top or bottom, and you're supposed to draw lines from the objects to the correct label.

If the labels are missing, they should be:
- Solid: Log, Icicle
- Liquid: Paint, Glass of water, Milk
- Gas: Air, Vapor

✔ Summary:
Match each object to its state using the above logic. This teaches students how different materials behave in different physical states.
