Identify solid, liquid, and gas states of matter using common objects in this educational worksheet.

Let’s go step by step to figure out whether each item is a solid, liquid, or gas.

We know:
- Solids keep their shape and don’t flow. You can hold them.
- Liquids take the shape of their container and can pour.
- Gases spread out to fill any space — you usually can’t see them, but they’re all around us (like air).

Now let’s look at each object:

1. Water bottle – The water inside is a liquid. Even though the bottle is solid, the question is likely asking about what’s *inside* or what the main substance is. But wait — actually, looking at the image, it’s showing a full water bottle, so we should think: Is this representing the water? Or the whole thing? In science worksheets like this, when they show a water bottle, they usually mean the water inside → that’s a liquid.

But hold on — sometimes they might be tricky. Let’s check others first.

Actually, rethinking: The worksheet says “Identify Solid, Liquid And Gas” for each picture. So we need to decide what state of matter each pictured object represents.

Let’s go one by one carefully:

---

✔ Top row:

- Water bottle: This contains water → water is a liquid.
- Anchor: Made of metal → hard, keeps its shape → solid.
- Balloon with heart: It’s filled with air (or helium) → gas inside makes it float → gas.

Wait — but the balloon itself is rubber (solid), but in these kinds of worksheets, if it’s floating or shown as inflated, they usually mean the *gas inside*. Also, hearts are often used to represent balloons filled with gas. So yes → gas.

---

✔ Middle row:

- Key: Metal, hard, doesn’t change shape → solid.
- Soccer ball: Again, made of leather/plastic (solid), but it’s inflated with air. Hmm… similar to balloon. But soccer balls are typically considered solids because the outer material defines them, and they don’t flow or expand freely. Actually, no — in most elementary science contexts, a soccer ball is treated as a solid object, even if it has air inside. Because you kick it, it holds shape, etc. So → solid.

Wait — let me double-check common teaching examples. Usually, things like balls, keys, rocks are solids. Balloons are gases because they’re light and float due to gas inside. Soccer ball doesn’t float — it’s heavy. So probably solid.

- Flask with green liquid: Clearly shows liquid inside → liquid.

---

✔ Bottom row:

- Rocks: Hard, fixed shape → solid.
- Pond with frog and plants: Water → liquid.
- Glass of purple drink: Drink is liquid → liquid.

Wait — now I’m seeing a pattern. Let’s list them again clearly:

Row 1:
1. Water bottle → liquid (the water)
2. Anchor → solid
3. Heart balloon → gas

Row 2:
4. Key → solid
5. Soccer ball → solid (even though it has air, it's categorized as solid object)
6. Flask with liquid → liquid

Row 3:
7. Rocks → solid
8. Pond → liquid
9. Glass of juice → liquid

But wait — is there any gas besides the balloon? What about the pond? No, pond is water → liquid. Glass → liquid. Rocks → solid.

Is the soccer ball really solid? Let me confirm with standard curriculum.

In many K-2 science materials:
- A basketball or soccer ball is classified as a solid because it maintains its shape and you can touch/hold it.
- A balloon that floats is classified as containing gas.

So yes, soccer ball = solid.

Also, note: the water bottle — if it’s sealed, the water inside is still liquid. We’re identifying the primary substance shown.

Another way: Think about what happens if you remove the container.

- Remove bottle → water spills → liquid.
- Remove anchor → still an anchor → solid.
- Pop balloon → gas escapes → gas.
- Key stays key → solid.
- Deflate soccer ball → still a deflated ball (solid material) → so maybe still solid? But actually, once deflated, it’s just fabric/rubber — still solid. So original state: solid.

Actually, perhaps better rule: If the object is primarily defined by its contents being a certain state, then use that.

But for consistency with typical worksheets:

Standard answers for such images:

- Water bottle → liquid
- Anchor → solid
- Balloon → gas
- Key → solid
- Soccer ball → solid
- Flask with liquid → liquid
- Rocks → solid
- Pond → liquid
- Glass of drink → liquid

Yes, that seems right.

Let me count how many of each:

Solids: anchor, key, soccer ball, rocks → 4 solids
Liquids: water bottle, flask, pond, glass → 4 liquids
Gas: balloon → 1 gas

That adds up to 9 items — perfect.

So final classification:

Row 1:
- Water bottle → Liquid
- Anchor → Solid
- Balloon → Gas

Row 2:
- Key → Solid
- Soccer ball → Solid
- Flask → Liquid

Row 3:
- Rocks → Solid
- Pond → Liquid
- Glass → Liquid

Wait — pond is water → liquid, yes.

All good.

Final Answer:
