States of matter | Cherry Rose F. Cerita | Live - Free Printable

Absolutely! Let’s solve this “States of Matter” worksheet by identifying whether each numbered item is a solid, liquid, or gas. I’ll explain each one so you understand why.

🔍 Key Concepts:

- Solid: Has a definite shape and volume. Doesn’t flow.
- Liquid: Has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Flows.
- Gas: No definite shape or volume. Expands to fill its container. Often invisible, but we can see effects (like steam or wind).

## ✔ Answers with Explanations:

1. Lemonade in a glass with ice and straw → Liquid
*The drink is fluid and takes the shape of the glass.*

2. Pouring blue liquid → Liquid
*It’s flowing from one container to another — classic liquid behavior.*

3. Old TV set → Solid
*It has a fixed shape and doesn’t flow.*

4. Kettle with steam coming out → Gas
*The steam rising is water vapor — a gas.*

5. Bed with pillow and blanket → Solid
*Even though blankets are soft, they’re still solids — they hold their form unless moved.*

6. Angry cloud blowing wind → Gas
*Wind is moving air — which is a gas.*

7. Milk carton → Liquid
*The milk inside is a liquid (even if the carton is solid, the question is about the substance shown — milk).*

8. Chocolate chip cookie → Solid
*It holds its shape and doesn’t flow.*

9. Juice box with straw → Liquid
*The juice inside is a liquid.*

10. Cup of coffee with steam → Gas
*The steam rising is water vapor — a gas. (Note: The coffee itself is liquid, but the image highlights the steam.)*

11. Slide on a playground → Solid
*It’s made of plastic/metal — rigid and holds shape.*

12. Water faucet with splashing water → Liquid
*The water flowing and splashing is clearly a liquid.*

13. Steam train with smoke/steam → Gas
*The puff of steam/smoke coming out is a gas.*

14. Soccer ball → Solid
*Even though it’s filled with air (gas), the ball itself — the outer shell — is a solid object.*

15. Glue stick squeezing out glue → Liquid
*The glue being squeezed out is viscous but still flows — so it’s a liquid.*

16. Alphabet blocks → Solid
*They are hard, hold shape, and don’t flow.*

✔ Tip for Students: When unsure, ask yourself:
→ Does it flow? → Probably liquid.
→ Can you hold its shape? → Probably solid.
→ Can you see it moving through air or rising? → Probably gas.
