This printable worksheet challenges students to identify the state of matter for various objects, such as syrup, air, and rocks, by sorting them into the correct columns.

Problem Description:

The task is to classify various items into one of three categories: Solid, Liquid, or Gas. The goal is to understand the physical states of matter and categorize each item accordingly.

Solution Approach:

1. Understand the Definitions:
- Solid: A state of matter that has a definite shape and volume. Solids maintain their form and do not flow.
- Liquid: A state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Liquids can flow.
- Gas: A state of matter that has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. Gases expand to fill any container they are placed in.

2. Analyze Each Item:
- Carefully examine each image and determine whether the item represents a solid, liquid, or gas based on its properties.

3. Classify Items:
- Place each item into the appropriate category (Solid, Liquid, or Gas).

Classification of Items:

#### Solid
- Guide dog
- Teddy bear
- Legos
- Coke bottle
- Oxygen tank
- Rock
- Baseball

#### Liquid
- Pancake syrup
- Liquid (stream)
- Coffee with milk

#### Gas
- Air
- Blow (breath)
- Smoke
- Steam
- Clouds

Explanation of Each Classification:

1. Solid:
- Guide dog: Animals have a definite shape and volume and do not flow.
- Teddy bear: A stuffed toy has a fixed shape and does not flow.
- Legos: Building blocks have a definite shape and volume.
- Coke bottle: The bottle itself is solid, even though it contains a liquid inside.
- Oxygen tank: The tank is a solid object used to store gas.
- Rock: Rocks have a definite shape and volume.
- Baseball: A baseball has a fixed shape and does not flow.

2. Liquid:
- Pancake syrup: Syrup flows and takes the shape of its container.
- Liquid (stream): Water in a stream is flowing and conforms to the shape of its path.
- Coffee with milk: Both coffee and milk are liquids that mix together.

3. Gas:
- Air: Air is a mixture of gases that expands to fill any space.
- Blow (breath): Breath consists of air, which is a gas.
- Smoke: Smoke is composed of tiny particles suspended in a gas.
- Steam: Steam is water vapor, which is a gas.
- Clouds: Clouds are made up of water droplets and ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere, behaving as a gas.

Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\text{Solid: Guide dog, Teddy bear, Legos, Coke bottle, Oxygen tank, Rock, Baseball} \\
\text{Liquid: Pancake syrup, Liquid (stream), Coffee with milk} \\
\text{Gas: Air, Blow, Smoke, Steam, Clouds}
}
