You’re working on a fill-in-the-blank worksheet titled
“Solids, liquids and gases”. The goal is to use the words in the box at the bottom to complete the paragraph correctly.

✔ Here’s the completed paragraph with explanations:
> Every material is made up of lots of
particles. All materials are either solid, liquid or
gas.
>
> In a
solid, all the particles are packed tightly together and can hardly move. A solid
stays in its own
shape. We call it a “rigid” substance. Anything you take hold of is a
solid.
>
> In a
liquid, the particles are not so tightly packed. They can move around a little. Liquids are not rigid — they flow
downwards. They take the shape of the
container they are in. The surface of a liquid stays
level.
>
> The particles in a
gas have lots of room and move around all over the place all the time. Gases are all
invisible, spreading into any empty spaces they can. Most gases are
light.

🧠 Explanation of Each Blank:
1.
particles — All matter is made of tiny particles (atoms/molecules).
2.
gas — The three states of matter: solid, liquid, gas.
3.
solid — Particles are tightly packed; defines the state.
4.
stays — Solids maintain their shape — they don’t flow.
5.
shape — Solids have a fixed shape.
6.
solid — Anything you hold (like a book, pencil) is a solid.
7.
liquid — Particles are looser than solids; this describes the next state.
8.
downwards — Liquids flow downward due to gravity.
9.
container — Liquids take the shape of whatever container they’re in.
10.
level — Liquid surfaces are flat/level (e.g., water in a glass).
11.
gas — Now describing the third state of matter.
12.
invisible — Most gases (like air, oxygen) cannot be seen.
13.
light — Gases are less dense and often very light (e.g., helium balloons rise).

💡 Words Used from the Box:
✔ `gas`
✔ `particles`
✔ `tiny` *(not used — but okay, sometimes worksheets include extras)*
✔ `liquid`
✔ `rigid` *(not used — but mentioned in text as “rigid substance” — maybe for context)*
✔ `shape`
✔ `invisible`
✔ `stay` → used as
stays
✔ `level`
✔ `solid`
✔ `container`
✔ `light`
> Note: “tiny” and “rigid” are mentioned in the text but not required to fill blanks — they may be distractors or for vocabulary reinforcement.

🎯 Final Answer (Filled Paragraph):
Every material is made up of lots of
particles. All materials are either solid, liquid or
gas.
In a
solid, all the particles are packed tightly together and can hardly move. A solid
stays in its own
shape. We call it a “rigid” substance. Anything you take hold of is a
solid.
In a
liquid, the particles are not so tightly packed. They can move around a little. Liquids are not rigid — they flow
downwards. They take the shape of the
container they are in. The surface of a liquid stays
level.
The particles in a
gas have lots of room and move around all over the place all the time. Gases are all
invisible, spreading into any empty spaces they can. Most gases are
light.
