Matter - Solid, Liquid, Or Gas? Worksheet - Free Printable

Let's solve this step-by-step based on the worksheet titled "Matter — Solid, Liquid or Gas?". The task is to circle all the pictures that do not belong to the group, meaning we need to identify which image in each row does not fit the category of the others.

We'll analyze each row:

---

🔹 Row 1:

Images:
1. Crayon
2. Sunglasses
3. Winter hat (beanie)
4. Bean (or kidney-shaped object)
5. Showerhead with water droplets

#### Analysis:
- Crayon → Solid
- Sunglasses → Solid
- Beanie → Solid
- Bean → Solid
- Showerhead with water droplets → This shows liquid (water falling)

So, all except the showerhead are solids. The showerhead with water represents liquid (water), so it doesn't belong.

✔ Circle the showerhead with water droplets – it’s the only one showing liquid.

🔹 Row 2:

Images:
1. Pouring liquid into a cup
2. Honey being dripped from a spoon
3. A roll of toilet paper (cylindrical shape)
4. Baby bottle with liquid inside
5. Paint can with paint spilling out

#### Analysis:
- Pouring liquid → Liquid
- Honey → Liquid
- Toilet paper roll → Solid (paper)
- Baby bottle → contains liquid, but the bottle itself is solid; however, context suggests it's representing liquid.
- Paint can with paint spilling → Liquid

Wait — let’s think carefully.

But the toilet paper roll is clearly a solid object. All the others show liquids being poured, dripped, or contained.

Even though the baby bottle is a container, the context of the image is likely showing liquids (like milk). Similarly, honey and paint are liquids.

So the toilet paper roll is the only solid object here.

✔ Circle the toilet paper roll – it does not belong because it’s a solid while others represent liquids.

🔹 Row 3:

Images:
1. Person exhaling breath (visible as puffs) → Gas (breath vapor)
2. Acorn → Solid
3. Pot boiling over fire → Gas (steam rising)
4. House with smoke coming from chimney → Gas (smoke)
5. Balloons attached to a gas cylinder → Gas (helium or air)

#### Analysis:
- Exhaling breath → Gas (water vapor/air)
- Acorn → Solid
- Boiling pot → Gas (steam)
- Smoke from chimney → Gas
- Balloons with gas cylinder → Gas

Only the acorn is a solid, while all others represent gases (vapor, steam, smoke, helium).

✔ Circle the acorn – it doesn’t belong because it’s a solid, while the rest represent gases.

---

✔ Final Answer:

Circle the following images:
1. Showerhead with water droplets (Row 1)
2. Toilet paper roll (Row 2)
3. Acorn (Row 3)

These are the ones that do not belong to the group in their respective rows.

---

📌 Explanation Summary:

- Row 1: All items are solids except the showerhead, which shows liquid water.
- Row 2: All items represent liquids except the toilet paper roll, which is a solid.
- Row 3: All items represent gases (vapor, steam, smoke, helium) except the acorn, which is a solid.

Thus, the three images to circle are:
- Showerhead
- Toilet paper roll
- Acorn
