The image shows an educational worksheet titled
"Solid, Liquid or Gas" designed to help students classify substances based on their physical state. The task is to
draw a line from each image (or word) to the correct category: Solid, Liquid, or Gas, based on how the particles are arranged.
Let's go through each item and determine its correct classification:
---
1. Chocolate
-
Image: A piece of chocolate.
-
State: Solid
- Reason: Chocolate has a fixed shape and volume; it maintains its form unless melted.
-
✔ Connect to
Solid
---
2. Steam
-
Image: Cloud-like vapor.
-
State: Gas
- Reason: Steam is water in its gaseous form. It expands to fill its container and has no fixed shape.
-
✔ Connect to
Gas
---
3. Foil
-
Image: A sheet of aluminum foil.
-
State: Solid
- Reason: Aluminum foil is a solid metal with definite shape and volume.
-
✔ Connect to
Solid
---
4. Juice
-
Image: A glass of liquid juice.
-
State: Liquid
- Reason: Juice flows and takes the shape of its container but has a fixed volume.
-
✔ Connect to
Liquid
---
5. Balloon
-
Image: A balloon filled with air.
-
State: Gas
- Reason: The balloon contains air (a gas), which fills the space inside the balloon. Although the balloon itself is solid, the substance being classified here is what’s *in* the balloon —
air, which is a
gas.
-
✔ Connect to
Gas
---
6. Ice
-
Image: A block of ice.
-
State: Solid
- Reason: Ice is frozen water, so it has a rigid structure and fixed shape.
-
✔ Connect to
Solid
---
7. Sand
-
Image: A pile of sand.
-
State: Solid
- Reason: Sand is made of tiny solid particles that retain their shape and volume.
-
✔ Connect to
Solid
---
8. Coffee
-
Image: A cup of coffee.
-
State: Liquid
- Reason: Coffee flows and takes the shape of the cup; it's not a solid or gas.
-
✔ Connect to
Liquid
---
Summary of Connections:
| Item | State | Connect To |
|------------|----------|------------|
| Chocolate | Solid | Solid |
| Steam | Gas | Gas |
| Foil | Solid | Solid |
| Juice | Liquid | Liquid |
| Balloon | Gas | Gas |
| Ice | Solid | Solid |
| Sand | Solid | Solid |
| Coffee | Liquid | Liquid |
---
Particle Models:
-
Solid: Particles are tightly packed in a regular pattern (red dots in a grid).
-
Liquid: Particles are close together but can move around (blue dots slightly scattered).
-
Gas: Particles are far apart and move freely (green dots spread out).
---
✔ Final Answer:
Draw lines as follows:
- Chocolate → Solid
- Steam → Gas
- Foil → Solid
- Juice → Liquid
- Balloon → Gas
- Ice → Solid
- Sand → Solid
- Coffee → Liquid
This completes the classification correctly!
