Let's solve this
"States of Matter" worksheet step by step.
We are given three states of matter:
Solid,
Liquid, and
Gas, each with a diagram showing how particles are arranged. We need to match the correct phrases from the
Phrase Bank to answer questions about each state.

🔹 Phrase Bank (List of Options):
1. Shape does not change
2. Lemonade, soda, paint, soap
3. Takes the shape of its container
4. Ice cube, pencil, paper, robot, dog
5. Takes the shape of its container
6. Volume does not change
7. Volume changes
8. Oxygen, helium, carbon dioxide
9. Volume does not change

##
✔ SOLID
1. What is the shape of a solid?
-
Answer: *Shape does not change*
→ Solids have a fixed shape.
2. What are some examples of solid?
-
Answer: *Ice cube, pencil, paper, robot, dog*
→ These are all solid objects.
3. What type of volume is solid?
-
Answer: *Volume does not change*
→ Solids maintain a constant volume.
---
##
✔ LIQUID
1. What is the shape of liquid?
-
Answer: *Takes the shape of its container*
→ Liquids flow and take the shape of their container.
2. What are some examples of a liquid?
-
Answer: *Lemonade, soda, paint, soap*
→ All are common liquids.
3. What type of volume is a liquid?
-
Answer: *Volume does not change*
→ Liquids have a definite volume (they don’t expand or compress easily).
---
##
✔ GAS
1. What is the shape of a gas?
-
Answer: *Takes the shape of its container*
→ Gases expand to fill the entire container.
2. What are some examples of gas?
-
Answer: *Oxygen, helium, carbon dioxide*
→ These are common gases.
3. What type of volume is gas?
-
Answer: *Volume changes*
→ Gases can be compressed or expanded; volume is not fixed.

📌 Final Matching Summary:
| Question | Correct Answer |
|--------|----------------|
|
Solid – Shape? | Shape does not change |
|
Solid – Examples? | Ice cube, pencil, paper, robot, dog |
|
Solid – Volume? | Volume does not change |
|
Liquid – Shape? | Takes the shape of its container |
|
Liquid – Examples? | Lemonade, soda, paint, soap |
|
Liquid – Volume? | Volume does not change |
|
Gas – Shape? | Takes the shape of its container |
|
Gas – Examples? | Oxygen, helium, carbon dioxide |
|
Gas – Volume? | Volume changes |

🔁 Note on Repeated Phrases:
- "Takes the shape of its container" appears twice in the phrase bank — one for liquid and one for gas.
- "Volume does not change" appears twice — used for solid and liquid.
- Only "Volume changes" applies to gas.
This makes sense because:
-
Solids & Liquids have
fixed volume.
-
Gases have
variable volume.
-
Solids have
fixed shape.
-
Liquids & Gases take the shape of their container.
