Changing states of matter worksheet for 4th and 5th grade ... - Free Printable

The task involves identifying the changing states of matter in the given diagram. Let's analyze the diagram step by step and determine the correct answers for each numbered arrow.

Diagram Analysis:

1. Red Pot with Fire (Top): This represents a liquid being heated, causing it to change state.
2. Glass of Water (Right): This is a liquid state.
3. Ice Cubes (Left): These are solid water cubes.
4. Arrows Connecting Different States: Each arrow represents a change in the state of matter.

Key Concepts:

- Solid → Liquid: Melting
- Liquid → Solid: Freezing
- Liquid → Gas: Evaporation
- Gas → Liquid: Condensation
- Solid → Gas: Sublimation
- Gas → Solid: Deposition

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### Arrow 1: Red Pot → Glass of Water
- The red pot contains a liquid that is being heated. When the liquid evaporates, it turns into a gas (water vapor). The gas then condenses back into a liquid in the glass.
- Answer: Evaporation → Condensation

#### Arrow 2: Ice Cubes → Glass of Water
- The ice cubes (solid) melt into liquid water.
- Answer: Melting

#### Arrow 3: Red Pot → Ice Cubes
- The liquid in the pot is cooled down and freezes into ice cubes.
- Answer: Freezing

#### Arrow 4: Glass of Water → Red Pot
- The liquid water in the glass is heated and evaporates into a gas.
- Answer: Evaporation

#### Arrow 5: Glass of Water → Ice Cubes
- The liquid water in the glass is cooled down and freezes into ice cubes.
- Answer: Freezing

#### Arrow 6: Ice Cubes → Red Pot
- The ice cubes (solid) sublimate directly into a gas without passing through the liquid state.
- Answer: Sublimation

Final Answers:

1. Evaporation → Condensation
2. Melting
3. Freezing
4. Evaporation
5. Freezing
6. Sublimation

Boxed Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
1 & \text{Evaporation → Condensation} \\
2 & \text{Melting} \\
3 & \text{Freezing} \\
4 & \text{Evaporation} \\
5 & \text{Freezing} \\
6 & \text{Sublimation} \\
\end{array}
}
