Step-by-step solution for: States of Matter (Solid, Liquid, Gas) Craftivity - The Owl Teacher
Let's solve this "States of Matter" worksheet step by step.
---
Color the squares:
- Yellow → if it describes a liquid
- Pink → if it describes a gas
- Blue → if it describes a solid
We’ll go through each square and determine which state of matter it refers to, then assign the correct color.
---
#### Row 1:
1. "Things take this form when they freeze."
→ When something freezes, it becomes a solid.
➤ Blue
2. Image of kettle with steam (steam coming out)
→ Steam is water vapor, which is a gas.
➤ Pink
3. "Water takes this form below 0°C"
→ Water below 0°C is ice → solid
➤ Blue
4. "ROCK"
→ A rock is a solid
➤ Blue
5. "It has no definite shape but has a definite volume."
→ This describes a liquid (they flow but don’t expand to fill container)
➤ Yellow
---
#### Row 2:
6. Image of pitcher with liquid inside (arrow pointing to liquid)
→ This is clearly a liquid
➤ Yellow
7. "HELIUM"
→ Helium is a gas at room temperature
➤ Pink
8. "LIQUID"
→ The word itself → liquid
➤ Yellow
9. Image of a chair
→ A chair is a solid
➤ Blue
10. Image of widely spaced circles (particles far apart)
→ This represents gas particles
➤ Pink
---
#### Row 3:
11. Image of tightly packed circles in a grid
→ This shows solid particles (fixed position)
➤ Blue
12. "It takes the shape of any container"
→ Both liquids and gases do this, but liquids have definite volume, gases don't.
However, this phrase alone is more commonly associated with liquids and gases — but since it’s paired with others, we consider context.
But wait — let’s look at the full sentence: It’s just “It takes the shape of any container.”
→ This applies to both liquids and gases, but liquids are defined by taking container shape with fixed volume, while gases take shape and also expand to fill space.
However, this description is most directly linked to liquids in elementary science.
➤ Yellow
13. Image of ice cube in beaker (with arrow pointing to liquid water)
→ Ice melting into water → showing liquid state
➤ Yellow
14. "GAS"
→ The word itself → gas
➤ Pink
15. "Water takes this form above 100°C"
→ Water above 100°C is steam → gas
➤ Pink
---
#### Row 4:
16. "SOLID"
→ Word → solid
➤ Blue
17. Image of raindrops
→ Rain is liquid water
➤ Yellow
18. Image of loosely packed circles (not touching, not ordered)
→ This represents liquid particles (closer than gas, not fixed like solid)
➤ Yellow
19. "MILK"
→ Milk is a liquid
➤ Yellow
20. "has a definite volume and shape"
→ This is the definition of a solid
➤ Blue
---
#### Row 5:
21. "Has no definite shape or volume"
→ This is a gas
➤ Pink
22. "Solids take this state when they melt."
→ Melting turns solids into liquids
➤ Yellow
23. "Liquids take this state when they evaporate"
→ Evaporation turns liquids into gases
➤ Pink
24. Image of balloon with "inside" labeled
→ Balloon contains gas (air/helium)
➤ Pink
25. "can be poured"
→ Only liquids can be poured (solids can't, gases escape)
➤ Yellow
