Let's solve this
Grade 2 Science Worksheet on the three states of matter:
solid, liquid, and gas.
---
🔍 Step 1: Understand the Definitions
From the worksheet:
-
Solids keep their shape.
-
Liquids take the shape of their container.
-
Gases spread out to fill the space they are in.
---
🧩 Step 2: Sort the Items
We have these items to classify:
1.
Carrot – It has a fixed shape and doesn’t change unless cut.
→
Solid
2.
Water vapor – This is steam, invisible gas from boiling water. It spreads out.
→
Gas
3.
Shampoo – A liquid that pours and takes the shape of its bottle.
→
Liquid
4.
Hot air – Air is a gas; hot air rises and spreads out.
→
Gas
5.
Soda (in glass) – The liquid part inside the glass.
→
Liquid
6.
Paper – Has a definite shape and stays rigid.
→
Solid
7.
Cotton – Made of solid fibers; keeps its form.
→
Solid
8.
Soda can – The metal container itself (not the soda).
→
Solid
9.
Syrup – Thick liquid that flows slowly.
→
Liquid

✔ Classification Table
|
Solid |
Liquid |
Gas |
|------------------|----------------|------------------|
| carrot | shampoo | water vapor |
| paper | soda | hot air |
| cotton | syrup | |
| soda can | | |
> 💡 Note: "Soda" refers to the liquid inside the can, not the can itself. So we put
soda under
liquid, and
soda can under
solid.

✏️ Step 3: Add Your Own Examples
Now, write one
original example for each state:
-
Solid: Rock (or ice cube, book, etc.)
-
Liquid: Milk (or juice, oil, etc.)
-
Gas: Oxygen (or helium, nitrogen, etc.)
